This is not a valid regulatory domain as such these users were unable to use these devices. Since this doesn't seem to be a device EEPROM corruption we must treat it specially. It may have been possible the manufacturer intended to use 0x0 as the regulatory domain and that would ultimately yield to US but since we cannot get confirmationf or this we default this special case to one of our world regulatory domains, specifically 0x64.
