Subject: [PATCH 3/6] ath: Add function to check if 4.9GHz channels are allowed
Date: Tue, 25 Jan 2011 13:15:33 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110125041533.6944.79709.stgit@localhost6.localdomain6> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20110125041522.6944.22566.stgit@localhost6.localdomain6>

This adds a helper function to ath/regd.c which can be asked if 4.9GHz channels
are allowed for a given regulatory domain code. This keeps the knowledge of
regdomains and defines like MKK9_MKKC in one place. I'm passing the regdomain
code instead of the ath_regulatory structure because this needs to be called
quite early in the driver inititalization where ath_regulatory is not available
yet in ath5k.

I'm using MKK9_MKKC only because this is the regdomain in the 802.11j enabled
sample cards we got from our vendor. I found some hints in HAL code that this
is used by Atheros to indicate 4.9GHz channels support and that there might be
other domain codes as well, but as I don't have any documentation I'm just
putting in what I need right now. It can be extended later.
