This description doesn't quite match the patches. Patch 4 both adds the
5150-5250 MHz band and increases the power limits for 5250-5350 MHz,
whereas patch 5 changes the DFS master region to DFS-FCC. Previously the
increased power limit for 5250-5350 MHz was part of patch 5 - perhaps
you accidentally moved that part to patch 4 when you were updating the
patches?

So patches 1-3 look fine to me. I suspect you'll want to move the power
limit increase from patch 4 to 5. I'm also going to take a look at a
machine translation of the Chinese document, and if that looks to be in
agreement with your patches then I should be able to apply them next
week sometime.

Thanks,
Seth
