Subject: [PATCH 5.10 33/38] Revert "ath: add support for special 0x0 regulatory domain"

From: Brian Norris <briannorris@...omium.org>

commit 1ec7ed5163c70a0d040150d2279f932c7e7c143f upstream.

This reverts commit 2dc016599cfa9672a147528ca26d70c3654a5423.

Users are reporting regressions in regulatory domain detection and
channel availability.

The problem this was trying to resolve was fixed in firmware anyway:

    QCA6174 hw3.0: sdio-4.4.1: add firmware.bin_WLAN.RMH.4.4.1-00042
