No, with this patch the 5GHz reg_rules on the second card are bypassed
by regdomain. This is not correct. I do like to see the new regdomain
handles all valid usage models correctly. But I fail to see how it can
be with the current design (the first one wins, or do intersection). We
should do intersection within each band, but do union between bands.
