Thanks for the comment, Kalle.  Actually, this is something I need some
input from driver maintainers.  I can see this country code mapping
table is chipset specific, and can be hard coded in driver per chip id
and revision.  But on the other hand, it makes some sense to have this
table in device tree, as the country code that need to be supported
could be a device specific configuration.
