WRT3200ACM and WRT32x routers always report a fixed US regulatory domain
from the mwifiex ROM, which conflicts with the platform regulatory
configuration on units sold outside the US market. For example:
- phy0 mwlwifi 5 GHz, hard-coded region 98 EU mapped to FR
- phy1 mwlwifi 2.4 GHz, hard-coded region 98 EU mapped to FR
- phy2 mwifiex 2.4 and 5 GHz, hard-coded region US

v1 as reply to v3 in big thread. How tools can parse that?

Does b4 diff work?

b4 diff '20260814125025.90522-1-gvalkov@gmail.com'

When the system boots, it detects a conflict between the user selected
region and the radios, e.g. BG FR US, and applies extreme restrictions,
preventing use of 5 GHz and DFS channels. This also affects phy0.

Add a device-tree flag, which allows affected platforms to ignore
an incorrect regulatory hint from ROM, so userspace can set the
correct platform regulatory domain.

Not a valid tag, drop. And you cannot even do that, otherwise explain me
how did your device execute THIS (exactly THIS) code?

Drop, what is the bug being fixed here?

Anyway, property looks like SW choice. You must describe hardware
instead.
