[PATCH v2] wireless-regdb: Update 5/6 GHz power rules for Russia (RU)

[PATCH v2] wireless-regdb: Update 5/6 GHz power rules for Russia (RU)

[Louis Kotze]

The 5650-5850 and 5925-6425 MHz entries use 100 mW EIRP. The SCRF
spectrum allocation (Annex 2 of SCRF 07-20-03-001) permits 200 mW
EIRP, indoor, with LBT. The LBT requirement is satisfied by the
standard IEEE 802.11 CCA mechanism in the MAC layer.

Leave 5150-5350 MHz at 100 mW. The SCRF spectrum allocation permits
200 mW here too, but the per-standard equipment certification rules
cap 802.11n (Order 124) and 802.11ax (Order 321) at 100 mW. Per
maintainer guidance, regdb should encode the most restrictive
applicable limit.

Primary-source analysis (SCRF PDFs and per-standard Orders), as well
as a forthcoming source-URL update from Valeriy Kosikhin, are in the
lore thread.

Changes since v1:
  - Keep 5150-5350 at 100 mW per most-restrictive-limit guidance
    (Chen-Yu Tsai).
  - Add 5650-5850 bump to 200 mW (missed in v1, which only addressed
    5925-6425).
  - Replace eleoscompliance.com reference (flagged as uninformative
    in v1 review) with a lore link to the primary-source analysis
    thread. A follow-up patch from Valeriy Kosikhin will update the
    in-tree source-URL comment to the SCRF primary documents after
    lawyer review.

v1: https://lore.kernel.org/wireless-regdb/20260411222155.299441-4-loukot@gmail.com/

Just to follow up, there was a patch to enlarge the allowed channel
width to 320 MHz [1]. Do either of you know whether this is valid?
If yes, could you reply to it with a Reviewed-by?


Thanks
