The brcmsmac internal regulatory data is being used to determine whether
OFDM should be allowed, and this is only done once during
initialization. To be effective this needs to be checked against
mac80211's regulatory rules for the current channel.

The core regulatory support will disable channels not allowed by
regulatory rules, so brcmsmac doesn't need to check whether or not the
requested channel is permitted by regulatory.

Currently the limits from the internal X2 domain are used, regardless
of what regulatory rules are in effect. Instead use the power limits set
by the higher-level regulatory support.
The rules for the MIMO power limits are still always derived from the
world domain, pending guidance from Broadcom as to how these need to be
handled. This will be fixed later, but using the limits from the world
domain works for now.

Currently the radio disable state is only updated during initialization,
and it's only checked against the internal world domain. This is
unnecessary, as there are always valid channels against this domain.
Instead, check whether any channels are enabled in the regulatory
notifier and update the radio state accordingly.

brcmsmac implements enforcement of regulatory constraints internally,
using a Broadcom-specific world roaming domain named X2. Besides being
duplication of functionality this can also conflict with mac80211's
regulatory implementation, as mac80211 is unaware of the X2 domain and
thus might apply a more restrictive domain.
This patch is the first step in making brcmsmac cooperate with
mac80211's regulatory support. X2 is registered as a custom domain with
mac80211, so that at least both implementations will be enforcing the
same set of constraints. The internal enforcement of rules is kept for
now; this will be converted over to relying on mac80211 regulatory
enforcement in later patches.

This code has been kept around in anticipation of adding support for
40MHz channels, but subsequent patches to better integrate with mac80211
regulatory support will render it completely broken. Therefore we should
go ahead and remove it.
Keep these changes separate from other cleanup patches in order to make
it easier to resurrect 40MHz channel support at some point in the
future.

In some situations brcmsmac is choosing a channel internally. This makes
it difficult at times to know what channel to use for enforcing

Commit "ath9k_hw: improve ANI processing and rx desensitizing parameters"
was unifying some code related to overriding OFDM weak signal detection,
but seems to have gotten some of the original intent wrong, probably
because of a misnamed variable.
The beacon RSSI is only valid in station mode, and the main reason to check
it in ath9k_hw_set_ofdm_nil is to make sure that OFDM weak signal detection
stays enabled if the RSSI is low, even when the OFDM noise immunity entry
is supposed to disable it.
The above commit removed the mode checks and changed the code so that
OFDM weak signal detection would only be changed if the rssi is high, which
is wrong for everything but client mode.
This patch restores the old behavior in a simplified form.

When the device is doing an internal radio reset
scan, ROC can be rejected to the supplicant with
busy status which confuses it.
One option would be to queue the ROC and handle
it later, but since the radio reset scan is very
quick we can just wait for it to finish instead.
Also add a warning since we shouldn't run into
the case of having a scan active when requesting
a ROC in any other case since mac80211 will not
scan while ROC or ROC while scanning.
