Support populate country_codes table by parsing the mapping from DT.

comment below, but you may add...

First of all I prefer to use brcmf_err and add ret value to the print
message " (err=%d)\n".

Okay.

Another thing is that this mapping is not only
applicable for SDIO devices so you may consider doing this for other bus
types as well which requires a bit more rework here.

Right. I will take care of it, if we can convince Kalle that having
this data in DT is not such a bad idea.

Sure. So let me explain a bit how our internal regulatory data is organized. The country revision is needed because the rf parameters that provide regulatory compliance are tweaked per platform/customer so depending on the rf path tight to the chip we need to use a certain country revision. As such they could be seen as device specific calibration data which is something that is already supported in the devicetree bindings.
