This example comes from the zd1211rw device driver. You can start
by having a mapping of your device's EEPROM country/regulatory
domain value to a specific alpha2 as follows:

as follows:

Lastly, you can then hint to the core of your discovered alpha2, if a match
was found. You need to do this after you have registered your wiphy. You
are expected to do this during initialization.
