As you mentioned, 5926-5945 is reserved as a guard band, i.e. the
device cannot use it. So the rule is correct to start at 5945 MHz.

> Update to LPI with correct frequency range and NO-OUTDOOR flag.

There should be justification for picking LPI over VLP, since this
is a choice made on the submitter's end. Same applies to the other
patches.

There was one submission that picked VLP over LPI in favor of outdoor
usage.
