Michael -- as per David's review this seems fine, please let us know
if you agree.

Pekka, please remove these changes from this patch, you want to make
your patches atomic, with only one purpose to help the review process
easier. You stashed changes to CZ & FI on one... You also switched
from dBm to mW and note how you actually did change the EIRP here for
only one for FI. Please provide a separate set of patches for that for
FI. If you want to switch to mW for all of the entries for FI first do
that, and then on a separate patch make the actual regulatory changes
so this is crystal clear for the review process.

So in summary: please post another separate patch for CZ and please
lets wait on Michael's final ACK. The other FI changes should be split
up. Also please CC Michael And David on your e-mails for regulatory
changes, they are not subscribed to linux-wireless but can certainly
help with reviewing these changes. I'll post some suggested updates on
guidelines for patches to wireless-regdb later.

Thanks,

  Luis
