Instead of aborting country code setup in firmware, use ISO3166 country
code and 0 rev as fallback, when country_codes mapping table is not
configured.  This fallback saves the country_codes table setup for recent
brcmfmac chipsets/firmwares, which just use ISO3166 code and require no
revision number.
This patch breaks wireless support on RockPro64. At least the access
point is not usable, station mode not tested.

brcmfmac: brcmf_c_preinit_dcmds: Firmware: BCM4359/9 wl0: Mar  6 2017
10:16:06 version 9.87.51.7 (r686312) FWID 01-4dcc75d9

Reverting this patch makes the access point show up again with linux-5.14 .
Sorry for breaking your device!

So it sounds like you do not have country_codes configured for your
BCM4359/9 device, while it needs particular `rev` setup for the ccode
you are testing with.  It was "working" likely because you have a static
`ccode` and `regrev` setting in nvram file.  But roaming to a different
region will mostly get you a broken WiFi support.  Is it possible to set
up the country_codes for your device to get it work properly?
