[wireless-regdb] wireless-regdb: Update regulatory rules for Germany (DE) on 5GHz

[Maximilian Engelhardt]

Hi,

In Europe ETSI standardized the used for short range devices (SRD) [1] in ETSI 
EN 300 440-1 [2].
According to this standard generic use equipment is allowed to transmit in the 
frequency range form 5725 MHz to 5875 MHz with a maximum output power of 
25 mW e.i.r.p. This generic allocation also allows transmission of 802.11 
devices.

[3] has a list of countries and their status about the implementation of the 
SRD frequency bands. For the 5 GHz band this can be seen on page 38 in the 
paragraph ANNEX 1 and the entry Annex j.

Attached is a patch that adds the 5 GHz SRD band to db.txt for Germany.

If it is acceptable I can provide a patch adding the 5 GHz SRD band for the 
other countries listed in [3].

Thanks,
Maxi
