+ * @REGULATORY_WIPHY_SELF_MANAGED: for devices that employ wiphy-specific
+ * regdom management. These devices will ignore all regdom changes not
+ * originating from their own wiphy.
+ * A self-managed wiphys only employs regulatory information obtained from
+ * the FW and driver and does not use other cfg80211 sources like
+ * beacon-hints, country-code IEs and hints from other devices on the same
+ * system. Conversely, a self-managed wiphy does not share its regulatory
+ * hints with other devices in the system. If a system contains several
+ * devices, one or more of which are self-managed, there might be
+ * contradictory regulatory settings between them. Usage of flag is
+ * generally discouraged. Only use it if the FW/driver is incompatible
+ * with non-locally originated hints.
+ * This flag is incompatible with the flags: %REGULATORY_CUSTOM_REG,
+ * %REGULATORY_STRICT_REG, %REGULATORY_COUNTRY_IE_FOLLOW_POWER,
+ * %REGULATORY_COUNTRY_IE_IGNORE and %REGULATORY_DISABLE_BEACON_HINTS.
+ * Mixing any of the above flags with this flag will result in a failure
+ * to register the wiphy. This flag implies
+ * %REGULATORY_DISABLE_BEACON_HINTS and %REGULATORY_COUNTRY_IE_IGNORE.
