Thanks for the patch!

"... raised by 100 mW ..." given the new units?

Also, such a provision is not given for 5470-5725MHz in the spec. My
interpretation of the text is that a "reference" is referencing other
regulations for "reference" when designing the local rules, not that it
allows following those references directly, unless explicitly noted.

This needs more justification. Unlike for the 5.15 ~ 5.35 GHz range,
the standard does _not_ give an option without TPC for this band.

Instead of AUTO-BW here, can you follow the examples from TW and US of
expanding the previous band by 5 MHz? That should cover the 160 MHz
channel.
