Ah -- are you sure you want to allow for that? It seems I was misunderstanding a bit
how things would be done for 11d in ath9k and the fact is that we *don't* allow
for channels beyond what the programmed regulatory domain allows. This is because
calibration stuff has only been tested/ensured/certified/call-it-what you want
for the channels in that regulatory domain SKU. Are you certain that b43 can operate
well on channels not in their regulatory domain SKU? If so then how about a wiphy flag
to let drivers pick this.
