[RFC] ath: add feature to enable cell base station regulatory hints
From: "Luis R. Rodriguez" <mcgrof@...> This enables the capability to enable cellular base station regulatory hint support to ath5k, ath9k, ath9k_htc and carl9170. Signed-off-by: Luis R. Rodriguez <mcgrof@...> --- Sending as RFC given that I'd like review from Sujith and Christian on the firmware side of things on ath9k_htc and carl9170. I am pretty certain both allow us to do all regulatory control on the driver and becuase of this we should be able to support this feature, however I'd like to be sure. Other drivers that have this regulatory control in firmware require quite a bit of testing / synching, as with ath6kl -- but we should be fine here. We don't enable this by default as we don't want all Linux distributions to be enabling CFG80211_CERTIFICATION_ONUS sporadically, instead this must be done by system integrators on case by case basis only when they are targeting supporting and testing these features. drivers/net/wireless/ath/Kconfig | 14 ++++++++++++++ drivers/net/wireless/ath/regd.c | 12 ++++++++++++ 2 files changed, 26 insertions(+) diff --git a/drivers/net/wireless/ath/Kconfig b/drivers/net/wireless/ath/Kconfig index 0960224..6d4f581 100644 --- a/drivers/net/wireless/ath/Kconfig(Continue reading)
