RFC:
This enables 4.9GHz frequencies in ath5k if the regdomain is set to MKK9_MKKC
(0xfe).
I have added a helper function to common ath/regd.c since we know about
MKK9_MKKC there, however in the place where i'm using the function we don't
have an ath_regulatory structure yet, so i'm passing the regdomain code as u16.
I'm using MKK9_MKKC only because this is the regdomain in the 802.11j enabled
sample cards we got from our vendor. I'm not sure if this is commonly used or
if there are other domain codes which indicate 802.11j support for Atheros
hardware (allthough some comments in the HAL suggest that). Also I don't know
if this is common between ath9k and ath5k.
Could someone from Atheros shed some light on this? Other comments?
