+Subject: [PATCH 1/1] mxm_wifiex: do not process countryIE internally
+
+Driver does not support processing countryIE, however when argument
+'country_ie_ignore=0' was set, driver could receive and store the
+country code but not apply the country power table.
+
+If a regulatory change was issued afterwards by the user (i.e. iw reg
+set) for the same country, change request was ignored and the power
+table was still not applied.
+
+Correct that by ignoring the countryIE when there is a self-managed
+wiphy registered.
+
+Patch provided by NXP.
