It looks like wl1251 driver supports standard way to set
regulatory settings. There is application which reads CAL data,
cellular network info, ... and sent it to kernel (via Nokia
specific netlink interface patch). And binary data which are sent
are in same format as file wl1251-nvs.bin. And some bits which
deterministically send to kernl depends on fcc.
