During firmware recovery, the default reg rules which are received via WMI_REG_CHAN_LIST_CC_EVENT can overwrite the currently configured user regd. See below snap for example, root@OpenWrt:/# iw reg get | grep country country FR: DFS-ETSI country FR: DFS-ETSI country FR: DFS-ETSI country FR: DFS-ETSI root@OpenWrt:/# echo assert > /sys/kernel/debug/ath11k/ipq8074\ hw2.0/simulate_f w_crash <snip> [ 5290.471696] ath11k c000000.wifi1: pdev 1 successfully recovered root@OpenWrt:/# iw reg get | grep country country FR: DFS-ETSI country US: DFS-FCC country US: DFS-FCC country US: DFS-FCC In the above, the user configured country 'FR' is overwritten when the rules of default country 'US' are received and updated during recovery. Hence avoid processing of these rules in general during firmware recovery as they have been already applied during driver registration or after last set user country is configured. This scenario applies for both AP and STA devices basically because cfg80211 is not aware of the recovery and only the driver recovers, but changing or resetting of the reg domain during recovery is not needed so as to continue with the configured regdomain currently in use.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
