    ath11k: Fix ETSI regd with weather radar overlap · 086c921a
    Sven Eckelmann authored
    Some ETSI countries have a small overlap in the wireless-regdb with an ETSI
    channel (5590-5650). A good example is Australia:
    
      country AU: DFS-ETSI
      	(2400 - 2483.5 @ 40), (36)
      	(5150 - 5250 @ 80), (23), NO-OUTDOOR, AUTO-BW
      	(5250 - 5350 @ 80), (20), NO-OUTDOOR, AUTO-BW, DFS
      	(5470 - 5600 @ 80), (27), DFS
      	(5650 - 5730 @ 80), (27), DFS
      	(5730 - 5850 @ 80), (36)
      	(57000 - 66000 @ 2160), (43), NO-OUTDOOR
    
    If the firmware (or the BDF) is shipped with these rules then there is only
    a 10 MHz overlap with the weather radar:
    
    * below: 5470 - 5590
    * weather radar: 5590 - 5600
    * above: (none for the rule "5470 - 5600 @ 80")
    
    There are several wrong assumption in the ath11k code:
    
    * there is always a valid range below the weather radar
      (actually: there could be no range below the weather radar range OR range
       could be smaller than 20 MHz)
    * intersected range in the weather radar range is valid
      (actually: the range could be smaller than 20 MHz)
    * range above weather radar is either empty or valid
      (actually: the range could be smaller than 20 MHz)
    
    These wrong assumption will lead in this example to a rule
    
      (5590 - 5600 @ 20), (N/A, 27), (600000 ms), DFS, AUTO-BW
    
    which is invalid according to is_valid_reg_rule() because the freq_diff is
    only 10 MHz but the max_bandwidth is set to 20 MHz. Which results in a
    rejection like:

      Invalid regulatory domain detected
    
    To avoid this, the algorithm has to be changed slightly. Instead of
    splitting a rule which overlaps with the weather radar range into 3 pieces
    and accepting the first two parts blindly, it must actually be checked for
    each piece whether it is a valid range. And only if it is valid, add it to
    the output array.
    
    When these checks are in place, the processed rules for AU would end up as
    
      country AU: DFS-ETSI
              (2400 - 2483 @ 40), (N/A, 36), (N/A)
              (5150 - 5250 @ 80), (6, 23), (N/A), NO-OUTDOOR, AUTO-BW
              (5250 - 5350 @ 80), (6, 20), (0 ms), NO-OUTDOOR, DFS, AUTO-BW
              (5470 - 5590 @ 80), (6, 27), (0 ms), DFS, AUTO-BW
              (5650 - 5730 @ 80), (6, 27), (0 ms), DFS, AUTO-BW
              (5730 - 5850 @ 80), (6, 36), (N/A), AUTO-BW
    
    and will be accepted by the wireless regulatory code.
