I'd prefer in unit of dBm as [1].
I think no need AUTO-BW that is to merge adjacent rules to have large bandwidth.

Use tab as indent instead.
I'm not aware we can possibly have two entries with the same frequency range,
and I only added one entry for indoor (or no indoor/outdoor restriction) before.
Checking freq_reg_info_regd(), I think only first matched entry is adopted, but
no error to build reg-db by 'make'.
