I'll post a patch and you can decide.

I added the get_country method to the driver api and was looking for
something to hook it up to when I hit this (something other than the
DBus api).  I added a "country" cmd to wpa_cli (like Dmitry) but made
it both get+set the CC.  After your post I just changed it to send
"SET COUNTRY foo" for the set operation.  I still need a way to get
the CC given "GET COUNTRY" doesn't work.

Let me cleanup what I've got and post it; then you can reshape it or
suggest an approach more in line with your thinking.
