I am confused. I thought "permissive change" referred to the ability of a device maker to avoid having to do a full fcc recertification when making changes to their device (hardware or firmware) that did not affect rf emissions

My mistake here actually. They still need to go through FCC testing but they can enable already deployed devices through SW/FW updates.
