[PATCH] ath9k: simplify regulatory code

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Now that cfg80211 has its own regulatory infrastructure we can
condense ath9k's regulatory code considerably. We only keep data
we need to provide our own regulatory_hint(), reg_notifier() and
information necessary for calibration.

Atheros hardware supports 12 world regulatory domains, since these
are custom we apply them through the the new wiphy_apply_custom_regulatory().
Although we have 12 we can consolidate these into 5 structures based on
frequency and apply a different set of flags that differentiate them on
a case by case basis through the reg_notifier().

If CRDA is not found our own custom world regulatory domain is applied,
this is identical to cfg80211's except we enable passive scan on most
frequencies.

This patch should be applied once the 12 patches from the new series
"cfg80211/mac80211: few fixes/enhancements for regulatory" have been
merged as it depends on a few new cfg80211 helpers from there.
