[LEDE-DEV] regulatory domain information

[Charles]

Hello,

on a TP-Link WDR3600 v1 (dual-band wifi, ath9k, wireless settings are
attached below, most notably wireless.radioX.country=DE), the output
of command 'iw reg get' is

with OpenWrt 15.05.1:

country DE: DFS-ETSI
	(2400 - 2483 @ 40), (N/A, 20), (N/A)
	(5150 - 5250 @ 80), (N/A, 20), (N/A), NO-OUTDOOR
	(5250 - 5350 @ 80), (N/A, 20), (0 ms), NO-OUTDOOR, DFS
	(5470 - 5725 @ 160), (N/A, 27), (0 ms), DFS
	(57000 - 66000 @ 2160), (N/A, 40), (N/A)

and with current LEDE:

country DE: DFS-ETSI
	(2400 - 2483 @ 40), (N/A, 20), (N/A)
	(5150 - 5250 @ 80), (N/A, 20), (N/A), NO-OUTDOOR, AUTO-BW
	(5250 - 5350 @ 80), (N/A, 20), (0 ms), NO-OUTDOOR, DFS, AUTO-BW

	(57000 - 66000 @ 2160), (N/A, 40), (N/A)

Questions:

1. Why does LEDE show four regulatory domain blocks while OpenWrt shows
   only one?

2. What does the "country US: DFS-FCC" blocks tell me when radio is set
   to an ETSI region country (DE) according to uci?

3. What does AUTO-BW mean?

tnx, Charles
