Partially -- the channel list is exported by the driver but CRDA
adds additional regulatory restrictions.  The driver also imposes
certain regulatory restrictions based on the EEPROM data.

You can create your own database, but you may need to modify the driver to
disregard the EEPROM settings, with the usual disclaimers: we won't support
it and if it breaks you get to keep both pieces.

Also note that ath5k only advertises a partial channel list; you can
get more via all_channels=1 modparam.  We don't do this by default
because they make scanning take forever and exceed channel list limits
in netlink.
