That seems right, but isn't that an orthogonal question?

Here, on this patch, we're discussing what data we should have in the
channel information, and it would seem that if it's different for
AP/client, then we do need both information stored, so that we can cope
with concurrency between AP and client?

If we additionally need to have different data for the regulatory rules
for AP and client, that might mean we need to go back and actually
change the code there *as well*, and then fill in the right fields in
this patch?

Unless somehow we're convinced that for this feature we don't need to
worry about concurrently using AP and client modes?
