Both.
IIRC, the scope of section 17 is meant for 5GHz alone. isn't it?
Could be, but it doesn't make much sense to make the coverage class
setting dependent on 5 GHz. 2.4 GHz is actively being used (also with
ath9k) for long distance links as well.
The way the coverage class setting is implemented in ath9k at the moment
works just fine and is tested for both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz.
