Thanks for the patch! Unfortunately there's a formatting problem, and it
won't apply as-is. Did you generate the patch with git-format-patch? If
so, it may be a problem with your mailer; in that case you could try
sending it as an attachment.

I also have a couple of comments/questions, below.

Machine translation isn't working well for the document, so I'll have to
rely on your reading of it. Is there some limitation behind the 80 MHz
max bandwidth restriction for 5470-5725 MHz instead of 160 MHz? 

We don't have AUTO-BW elsewhere between these ranges, and I'm trying to
remember why. Having it would obviously allow use of channel 144, and I
can't recall a reason for not having it. In some cases we've fudged the
boundaries where 5470-5725 is the more restrictive rule, and GB has an
exception carved out for 5725-5730. Neither of these is true for ETSI EN
301 893 though. Maybe someone else will remember a reason for not having
AUTO-BW, but if not then it seems okay to me.

Thanks,
Seth
