Subject: [regression] BugĀ 216753 - 6e 6 ghz bands are disabled since 5.16 on intel ax211
Hi, this is your Linux kernel regression tracker.
Luca, I noticed a regression report in bugzilla where I'd like your
advice on. To quote https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=216753
> It looks like the self-managed regulatory information is causing the 6ghz band to be disabled on my AX211 (in the US).
> iw reg get shows no 6ghz bands (output at the bottom).

> $ sudo iw phy0 channel

> Band 4:
> * 5955 MHz [1] (disabled)
> * 5975 MHz [5] (disabled)
> * 5995 MHz [9] (disabled)
> ....(continues with all disabled
> * 7115 MHz [233] (disabled)

You authored 698b166ed346 ("iwlwifi: mvm: read 6E enablement flags from
DSM and pass to FW"). As it is a regressions is ideally should be dealt
with. But this area in tricky due to the legal implications. Hence I
wonder: is there anything we can do about this, or is this simply a case
where we have to bite the bullet and live with this regression?
Ciao, Thorsten (wearing his 'the Linux kernel's regression tracker' hat)
P.S.: As the Linux kernel's regression tracker I deal with a lot of
reports and sometimes miss something important when writing mails like
this. If that's the case here, don't hesitate to tell me in a public
reply, it's in everyone's interest to set the public record straight.
