I have a QCA9984, which exports two network interfaces. While I was able to still use one of both NICs for 2.4GHz, I couldn't really use the other card to set up a 5GHz AP anymore because all frequencies were restricted. This has started with v5.17.1, to which this revert was backported. Reverting this patch again fixes the issue on my system. So it seems like there still are cards out there in the wild which have a value of 0x0 as their regulatory domain.

This sounds like the issue should've already been fixed in firmware, right? To the best of my knowledge I'm using the latest that's currently available, which seems to contradict this. I've added the relevant dmesg snippets though in case I'm mistaken: ath10k_pci 0000:03:00.0: enabling device (0000 -> 0002) ath10k_pci 0000:03:00.0: pci irq msi oper_irq_mode 2 irq_mode 0 reset_mode 0 ath10k_pci 0000:04:00.0: enabling device (0000 -> 0002) ath10k_pci 0000:04:00.0: pci irq msi oper_irq_mode 2 irq_mode 0 reset_mode 0 ath10k_pci 0000:03:00.0: qca9984/qca9994 hw1.0 target 0x01000000 chip_id 0x00000000 sub 168c:cafe ath10k_pci 0000:03:00.0: kconfig debug 0 debugfs 0 tracing 0 dfs 1 testmode 0 ath10k_pci 0000:03:00.0: firmware ver 10.4-3.9.0.2-00131 api 5 features no-p2p,mfp,peer-flow-ctrl,btcoex-param,allows-mesh-bcast,no-ps,peer-fixed-rate,iram-recovery crc32 23bd9e43 ath10k_pci 0000:04:00.0: qca9984/qca9994 hw1.0 target 0x01000000 chip_id 0x00000000 sub 168c:cafe ath10k_pci 0000:04:00.0: kconfig debug 0 debugfs 0 tracing 0 dfs 1 testmode 0 ath10k_pci 0000:04:00.0: firmware ver 10.4-3.9.0.2-00131 api 5 features no-p2p,mfp,peer-flow-ctrl,btcoex-param,allows-mesh-bcast,no-ps,peer-fixed-rate,iram-recovery crc32 23bd9e43 ath10k_pci 0000:03:00.0: board_file api 2 bmi_id 0:1 crc32 85498734 ath10k_pci 0000:04:00.0: board_file api 2 bmi_id 0:2 crc32 85498734 ath10k_pci 0000:03:00.0: htt-ver 2.2 wmi-op 6 htt-op 4 cal otp max-sta 512 raw 0 hwcrypto 1 ath: EEPROM regdomain sanitized ath: EEPROM regdomain: 0x64 ath: EEPROM indicates we should expect a direct regpair map ath: Country alpha2 being used: 00 ath: Regpair used: 0x64 ath10k_pci 0000:04:00.0: htt-ver 2.2 wmi-op 6 htt-op 4 cal otp max-sta 512 raw 0 hwcrypto 1 ath: EEPROM regdomain sanitized ath: EEPROM regdomain: 0x64 ath: EEPROM indicates we should expect a direct regpair map ath: Country alpha2 being used: 00 ath: Regpair used: 0x64 Patrick
