From: Mohammed Shafi Shajakhan mohammed@qti.qualcomm.com
[ Upstream commit c0c345d4cacc6a1f39d4856f37dcf6e34f51a5e4 ]
As per latest regulatory update for India, channel 52, 56, 60, 64 is no longer restricted to DFS. Enabling DFS/no infra flags in driver results in applying all DFS related restrictions (like doing CAC etc before this channel moves to 'available state') for these channels even though the country code is programmed as 'India' in he hardware, fix this by relaxing the frequency range while applying RADAR flags only if the country code is programmed to India. If the frequency range needs to modified based on different country code, ath_is_radar_freq can be extended/modified dynamically.
