When the firmware starts, it doesn't have any regulatory information, hence it uses the world wide limitations. The driver can feed the firmware with previous knowledge that was kept in the driver, but the firmware may still not update its internal tables. This happens when we start a BSS interface, and then the firmware can change the regulatory tables based on our location and it'll use more lenient, location specific rules. Then, if the firmware is shut down (when the interface is brought down), and then an AP interface is created, the firmware will forget the country specific rules. The host will think that we are in a certain country that may allow channels and will try to teach the firmware about our location, but the firmware may still not allow to drop the world wide limitations and apply country specific rules because it was just re-started. In this case, the firmware will reply with MCC_RESP_ILLEGAL to the MCC_UPDATE_CMD. In that case, iwlwifi needs to let the upper layers (cfg80211 / hostapd) know that the channel list they know about has been updated.

README
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.
