[PATCH 2/3] ARM: dts: armada: WRT3200ACM: add marvell,ignore-regulatory-hint

[Georgi Valkov]

WRT3200ACM and WRT32x routers always report a fixed US regulatory domain
from the mwifiex ROM, which conflicts with the platform regulatory
configuration on units sold outside the US market. For example:
- phy0 mwlwifi 5 GHz, hard-coded region 98 EU mapped to FR
- phy1 mwlwifi 2.4 GHz, hard-coded region 98 EU mapped to FR
- phy2 mwifiex 2.4 and 5 GHz, hard-coded region US

When the system boots, it detects a conflict between the user selected
region and the radios, e.g. BG FR US, and applies extreme restrictions,
preventing use of 5 GHz and DFS channels. This also affects phy0.

Add a flag marvell,ignore-regulatory-hint to the WRT3200ACM device-tree,
which signals mwifiex to ignore an incorrect regulatory hint from ROM,
so userspace can set the correct platform regulatory domain. The radios
in WRT3200ACM/WRT32x are locked to the hard-coded configuration for which
they are certified, so the only impact is that the region conflict is
avoided and the 5 GHz radios can be used.

The Linux kernel sources do not have support for WRT32x. An equivalent
patch for these routers has to be sent to OpenWrt.
