+ *      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.
