The patch came from QCA. I'm adding Jouni to the Cc. Jouni, any
comments?

This looks reasonable based on the documentation you linked to. I'm not
certain about the EIRP values, but that's at least consistent with what
was there before (i.e. they match the EIRP for the first DFS frequency
range).

I'm going to wait a bit to see if anyone has any comments about the
patch, and if no one objects I'll apply it.

Thanks,
Seth
