I think you basically have two choices depending on whether you have a
country code in the eeprom or not.

If you have a country code, I suggest you just use either one.

As far as I know, though, you don't have country codes. So if there's a
valid code in the EEPROM you probably should use the regdomain struct
hint rather than the alpha2 hint and build a regdomain that contains
both 2.4 and 5 GHz channels based on the two region values you have.
