Atheros 9380 wifi fixes

[BadSamaritan]

Will the fixes for reg_domain be present in 19.7? I have an AR9380 card that's currently not usable.

I've backported the change to our tree and in the best case it will be included in 19.7 directly. But I can give no promise this commit is the only thing that you're missing for a fully operational card.

Thanks thats all i ask. All my research points to the missing FCC6 reg domain being the culprit, but well aware it may not fix the issue.

Okay, just ping back if any other patch is needed. Note the patch will hit 19.7, not 19.7-RC1 due to overlapping timelines.

The FCC6 fixes seem to have done the trick. Wifi is up and working and dmesg is much better
