Your AP did not provide 5 GHz frequencies in its country information
element. Because of this the intersection between what CRDA has for GB
and what your AP provides does not include any channels in 5 GHz. This
has been fixed in wireless-testing though, if your AP country IE does
not have information for a separate band we lave that band to trust
CRDA information instead.

This should have been propagated down to 29 already, maybe it'll be in rc5?
