[PATCH ath-next 1/3] wifi: ath12k: Add helper function ath12k_mac_update_freq_range()

[Rajat Soni]

In a subsequent change, the frequency range needs to be updated with
each regulatory update. Since the current function also modifies the
DISABLED flag in the actual channel list, which should always align
with hardware-supported start and end frequencies rather than the
current operating ones, the existing function cannot be called again.
Therefore, the logic for setting the frequency range needs to be
refactored.

To address this, refactor the frequency setting part into a new
helper function, ath12k_mac_update_freq_range(). Since this needs
to be done independently of updating the DISABLED flag, call the new
helper function ath12k_mac_update_freq_range() after updating the
channel list for each band.

[PATCH ath-next 2/3] wifi: ath12k: Fix frequency range in driver

[Rajat Soni]

From: Aditya Kumar Singh <aditya.kumar.singh@oss.qualcomm.com>

During the initial WMI exchange, the firmware updates the
hardware-supported start and end frequencies in the
ath12k_wmi_hal_reg_capabilities_ext_arg structure. These frequencies,
being hardware-supported, may not always align with the current
regulatory operating frequencies. When operating as multiple grouped
hardwares under a single wiphy, the driver advertises these values
directly to the upper layer in the per-radio frequency range,
which can be misleading.

Sample output snippet from iw phyX info command -

[..]
Supported wiphy radios:
          * Idx 0:
                  Frequency Range: 2312 MHz - 2732 MHz
		 [..]

          * Idx 1:
                  Frequency Range: 5150 MHz - 5330 MHz
		 [..]
[..]

The frequency range displayed above is incorrect because the driver
directly advertises the hardware-supported values to the upper layer.

The driver is aware of the current operating regulatory rules, and
hence it can use this information to determine the final operating
start and end frequencies.

To resolve this issue, add support to store the start and end
frequencies received during the regulatory update event.
Then, intersect these with the hardware-supported start and
end frequencies, and finally, advertise the intersected values to the
upper layer.

Sample output snippet from iw phyX info command after the fix -

[..]
Supported wiphy radios:
          * Idx 0:
                  Frequency Range: 2402 MHz - 2472 MHz
		 [..]

          * Idx 1:
                  Frequency Range: 5170 MHz - 5330 MHz
		 [..]

[PATCH ath-next 3/3] wifi: ath12k: Update frequency range if reg rules changes

[Rajat Soni]

From: Aditya Kumar Singh <aditya.kumar.singh@oss.qualcomm.com>

During the hardware register, driver updates the frequency range
during boot-up. However, if new regulatory rules are applied after
boot-up, the frequency range remains based on the older rules.
Since different countries have varying regulatory rules, the
frequency range can differ. Retaining the frequency range based on
outdated rules can be misleading.

Update the frequency range according to the new regulatory rules in
the function ath12k_regd_update().
