Hi,

I have a question about CFG80211_REQUIRE_SIGNED_REGDB behavior in the latest net-next.git.

Since my environment disables CONFIG_EXPERT, CFG80211_CERTIFICATION_ONUS is also disabled.
In this case, menuconfig doesn't show me the config because the net/wireless/Kconfig has:

config CFG80211_REQUIRE_SIGNED_REGDB
	bool "require regdb signature" if CFG80211_CERTIFICATION_ONUS
	default y
	select SYSTEM_DATA_VERIFICATION

Does this mean that non expert users should enable CFG80211_REQUIRE_SIGNED_REGDB anyway?
Or, does this have special other reasons?

Best regards,
Yoshihiro Shimoda
