brcm80211: smac: only provide valid regulatory hint
The driver provides a regulatory hint to cfg80211 as obtained from the SPROM. Mostly, this will be a two-letter ISO country code. However, it may obtain special country code similar to the world regulatory domain as used in cfg80211. This patch avoids setting these special codes as the hint is lost to cfg80211.
