[wireless-regdb] [PATCH 0/8] wireless-regdb: General updates

John,

I have a pretty large delta now, this is due to the fact that
QCA has had a backlog of updates to wireless-regd for a while
now. We've worked on a tool to help automate interpretting our
rules and extracting them into wireless-regdb form. The hope here
is that after we iron our our discrepencies from the backlog we
will ensure that we'll be sending updates ASAP and that away
avoid any backlog.

There are a few discrepencies from what we have on countries
that the community has submitted changes on, in particular this
consists of: CZ, DE, ES, IL, RS, UA. For these countries I have
not submitted changes, and I am pending review with Michael
on the changes to see what we can come up with or compromise
on.

The first two patch series are completely augmentative in
the sense that we are only enabling HT40, VHT80, increasing
frequency ranges, increasing TX power on 2.4 and/or 5 GHz.

The last series does have general updates to countries which
do remove some rules but that is done only for countries not
listed above.

The entire delta can be obtained via either a single patch [0]
or my git tree [1].

This is the first patch set and deals with the initial backlog
I had, adds DFS regions to countries, and uses the new CRDA
optimizer for rules for which we have no pending conflicts
with.

I'll post details of the second and third patch set after the
first series patches. I expect a 4th patch set but I expect
that will take a bit of time to complete. This should be
enough to get us started back on the right track and try to
take care of as much of the backlog as possible.
