[ Upstream commit 8723750e2753868591ba86a57b0041c5e38047ad ]
When wlan load, firmware report the reg code with 0x6C for QCA6174, it is world reg which checked by ath_is_world_regd(), then the reg will be save into reg_world_copy of ath_common in ath_regd_init(). Later the regulatory of ath_common is updated to another country code such as "US" in ath_reg_notifier_apply() by below call stack. After that, regulatory_hint() is called in ath10k_mac_register() and it lead "iw reg get" show two regdomain info as below.
global country US: DFS-FCC (2400 - 2472 @ 40), (N/A, 30), (N/A) (5150 - 5250 @ 80), (N/A, 23), (N/A), AUTO-BW (5250 - 5350 @ 80), (N/A, 23), (0 ms), DFS, AUTO-BW (5470 - 5730 @ 160), (N/A, 23), (0 ms), DFS (5730 - 5850 @ 80), (N/A, 30), (N/A) (57240 - 71000 @ 2160), (N/A, 40), (N/A)

At this moment, the two regdomain info is same, when run "iw reg set KR", the global regdomain info changed to KR, but the regdomain of phy#0 does not change again. It leads inconsistent values between global and phy#0 as below.
global country KR: DFS-JP (2402 - 2482 @ 40), (N/A, 13), (N/A) (5170 - 5250 @ 80), (N/A, 20), (N/A), AUTO-BW (5250 - 5330 @ 80), (N/A, 20), (0 ms), DFS, AUTO-BW (5490 - 5710 @ 160), (N/A, 30), (0 ms), DFS (5735 - 5835 @ 80), (N/A, 30), (N/A) (57000 - 66000 @ 2160), (N/A, 43), (N/A)
phy#0 country US: DFS-FCC (2400 - 2472 @ 40), (N/A, 30), (N/A) (5150 - 5250 @ 80), (N/A, 23), (N/A), AUTO-BW (5250 - 5350 @ 80), (N/A, 23), (0 ms), DFS, AUTO-BW (5470 - 5730 @ 160), (N/A, 23), (0 ms), DFS (5730 - 5850 @ 80), (N/A, 30), (N/A) (57240 - 71000 @ 2160), (N/A, 40), (N/A)
The initial reg code is 0x6C which saved in reg_world_copy of ath_common, and the code US is updated from cfg80211 later, so ath10k should also check the initial reg code before regulatory_hint().
After this fix, regdomain info is same between "iw reg get" and "iw reg set xx", it does not have the regdomain info of phy#0 again.
global country KR: DFS-JP (2402 - 2482 @ 40), (N/A, 13), (N/A) (5170 - 5250 @ 80), (N/A, 20), (N/A), AUTO-BW (5250 - 5330 @ 80), (N/A, 20), (0 ms), DFS, AUTO-BW (5490 - 5710 @ 160), (N/A, 30), (0 ms), DFS (5735 - 5835 @ 80), (N/A, 30), (N/A) (57000 - 66000 @ 2160), (N/A, 43), (N/A)
This does not effect the channel list and power which ath10k used. When the country code for regulatory_hint() in ath10k_mac_register() is same with the global country code, then reg_set_rd_driver() of cfg80211 called from crda which return -EALREADY to set_regdom() and then update_all_wiphy_regulatory() will not be called while wlan load. When run "iw reg set xx", reg_get_regdomain() which used by function handle_channel() in net/wirelss/reg.c always use the regdomain returned by get_cfg80211_regdom() because the initiator of last regulatory_request is NL80211_REGDOM_SET_BY_USER, get_cfg80211_regdom() is the global regdomain, then all the ieee80211_channel info is updated in handle_channel() with the global regdomain.
