Different countries different regulatory rules.

Upstream commit that removes 5470-5725 is:
31dc1c5eca29d039ac8f26340defe44bd7e497c1

This seems to be reverted by upstream 
with wireless-regdb (master-2015-01-30) [1]
Updating the regdb should fix this.

(I find no QCA feedback why this was introduced on the ML) [2]
