Thank you both! I was not aware that this belonged in the firmware
field and not the packages field. This has solved the error message
during boot. Further, adding the kernel argument successfully sets my
region as US on boot.

This is not part of the bug per-say, but a question around this space:
despite all of this, I still cannot broadcast on US approved channels.
I think this is because the EEPROM on the card is set as global. What
am I missing? Do you know how Linux intend for people to notify the
stack that this is an OK thing to do? I know projects like OpenWRT
carry patches to the driver, but I keep thinking surely this is not
the only way.
