brcmsmac has its own internal regulatory implementation which attempts
to enforce a Broadcom defined domain named X2. This code has no
integration with mac80211 regulatory other than supplying regulatory
hints, and thus each implementation operates independently of the other,
enforcing conflicting sets of rules.
This series of patches converts brcmsmac to relying on the mac80211
regulatory implementation. The X2 domain is registered with mac80211,
and brcmsmac is converted to using the constraints from mac80211 for
hardware configuration. Much code is removed in the process :)
There is one holdover from the old regulatory implementation. The MIMO
tx power limits for brcmsmac are still being configured based on
internal data for the X2 domain. Arend is trying to find out how these
need to be handled, but this can be changed at a later time.
Changes since version 1:
- Dropped patch to remove support for DFS channels
- Added back application of flags for radar channels on regulatory
updates from RFC patches, with minor simplifications
- Removed unneeded NULL pointer check from regulatory notifier callback
Thanks,
Seth
