ath11k: Avoid reg rules update during firmware recovery
During firmware recovery, the default reg rules which are received via WMI_REG_CHAN_LIST_CC_EVENT can overwrite the currently configured user regd. See below snap for example, root@OpenWrt:/# iw reg get | grep country country FR: DFS-ETSI country FR: DFS-ETSI country FR: DFS-ETSI country FR: DFS-ETSI root@OpenWrt:/# echo assert > /sys/kernel/debug/ath11k/ipq8074\ hw2.0/simulate_f w_crash <snip> [ 5290.471696] ath11k c000000.wifi1: pdev 1 successfully recovered root@OpenWrt:/# iw reg get | grep country country FR: DFS-ETSI country US: DFS-FCC country US: DFS-FCC country US: DFS-FCC In the above, the user configured country 'FR' is overwritten when the rules of default country 'US' are received and updated during recovery. Hence avoid processing of these rules in general during firmware recovery as they have been already applied during driver registration or after last set user country is configured. This scenario applies for both AP and STA devices basically because cfg80211 is not aware of the recovery and only the driver recovers, but changing or resetting of the reg domain during recovery is not needed so as to continue with the configured regdomain currently in use.
