[PATCH v2] wireless-regdb: add regulatory rules for Iraq (IQ)

[Mohammed Abdullah Ali Al-Obaidi]

Add a regulatory entry for Iraq (ISO 3166-1 alpha-2: IQ).

Iraq is currently absent from the regulatory database. Devices set
to country=IQ fall back to the world domain (00), which leaves most
of the 5 GHz spectrum marked "no IR" and severely restricts even
2.4 GHz operation. The Iraqi Communications and Media Commission
(CMC) has now published an explicit, numerical national regulation
that fills this gap.

  Title : Regulation on short-range radio communication devices
          (SRD) and devices using ultra-broadband (UWB) technology
  Issuer: Republic of Iraq, Communications and Media Commission
          (CMC), Telecommunications Regulatory Department,
          International Relations Section
  Decree: Council of Commissioners decision No. 122/q-2025
  In force from: 2025-09-22
  Edition: First edition, 2025; 26 pages
  URL   : https://cmc.iq/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Regulation-on-short-range-radio-communication-devices-SRD-and-devices-using-ultra-broadband-UWB-technology.pdf

The values below are taken directly from Article 4-1-13 ("Wireless
Access Systems / WAS") of that regulation, which is the table
governing Wi-Fi (Annex A of the regulation defines Wi-Fi as
"802.11 Local Area Networking in 2.4 and 5 GHz ISM bands"). 

Bands and limits, as stated in Article 4-1-13:

  2400-2483.5 MHz  : 100  mW EIRP, indoor and outdoor, LBT/DAA
                     (EN 300 328, ERC/REC 70-03)
  5150-5250 MHz    : 200  mW EIRP, indoor
                     (EN 301 893, ITU-R Res. 229 Rev. WRC-19)
  5250-5350 MHz    : 200  mW EIRP, indoor
                     (EN 301 893) 
  5470-5725 MHz    : 1000 mW EIRP, indoor, DFS + TPC
                     (EN 301 893)
  5725-5875 MHz    : 2000 mW EIRP (10 MHz ch) / 4000 mW (20 MHz ch),
                     indoor and outdoor
                     (EN 302 502)
  5945-6425 MHz    : 200  mW EIRP, indoor
                     (EN 303 687, ECC Report 75)
  57-66 GHz        : 10   W  EIRP, indoor, LBT/DAA
                     (EN 302 567)

Notes on the encoding chosen below
----------------------------------

* TPC handling for 5470-5725 MHz: The regulation explicitly requires 
  both DFS and TPC. Because Linux/wireless-regdb does not natively 
  enforce TPC limits, the rule is encoded with the standard DFS flag 
  to remain as compliant as possible within the framework's capabilities.
* Indoor/Outdoor for 5725-5875 MHz: The regulation explicitly permits 
  both indoor and outdoor operation for this band, so no NO-OUTDOOR flag 
  is applied.
* EIRP limit for 5725-5875 MHz: The regulation provides two figures 
  (2000 mW for 10 MHz channels, 4000 mW for 20 MHz channels). Because 
  wireless-regdb expresses a strict per-band ceiling to ensure compliance 
  across all configurations, the limit is conservatively set to 2000 mW 
  to prevent narrower channel widths from exceeding their legal limit.
* 6 GHz channel width: Encoded at 80 MHz (the widest standard-power 
  option) pending further clarification from the CMC regarding AFC 
  requirements.

Background on the unique 5.8 GHz figure
---------------------------------------

The 2000 mW EIRP ceiling for 5725-5875 MHz reflects an explicit Iraqi 
national choice that follows EN 302 502 (BFWA). This choice puts Iraq 
at the high end of the regional spectrum policy for the 5.8 GHz band 
and is included verbatim from the regulation.

v2:
  - Changed 5725-5875 MHz EIRP ceiling from 4000 mW to 2000 mW to 
    ensure absolute compliance at narrower channel widths (10 MHz).
  - Trimmed redundant encoding notes regarding standard NO-OUTDOOR, 
    DFS, and AUTO-BW conventions.
  - Clarified TPC handling limitations and indoor/outdoor encoding 
    choices.
