The commit de3584bd62d87b4c250129fbc46ca52c80330add -
"cfg80211: fix regulatory NULL dereference" prevents the regulatory
domain from being changed by user space. A wiphy is only present
if the request comes from driver or is set by country IE, thus
check only those cases.

Yup but at this point I'd prefer we revert the original patch instead
given that the patch also had some other short comings. John is it too
late?

No, it isn't too late to revert it.  But can we have a new fix soon?

Hmmm...actually, the original patch was sent in the batch yesterday.
And it was Cc: stable.  It would be a lot less confusing to merge a
correct fix on top (and Cc: stable on that too).  What is wrong with
this one?

This one is a correct fix to one of the issues present in the original
patch, the other issue is the original patch overlooks the fact that
last_request would be left with stale data. Let me post my fixes as
RFCs on top of Johannes's original patch to clarify. Unfortunately
this doesn't have much testing but I'll post for review at least.

Looks like the RFCs got some comments.  Will there be a respin
of those?  Or should I just apply this one for now?

John
