+# Linux kernels before v4.15, allowed to be compiled with static
+# regulatory database if it was put under net/wireless/db.txt.
+#
+# This class copies the regulatory plaintext database to kernel sources before
+# compiling.
+#
+# Usage:
+# 1. The class should be inherited by kernel recipe (e.g. in
+#    linux-yocto_%.bbappend).
+# 2. For Linux kernels up to v4.14, build kernel with CONFIG_EXPERT and
+#    CONFIG_CFG80211_INTERNAL_REGDB.
