Hi,

Sorry, apparently we have two threads.

Great, thank you for looking into this. Let me know if you have a patch
which you want me to test on a RTL8723BS adapter.

Could you test this instead?

I don't have that much sympathy for a staging driver that's clearly
doing things differently than it was intended (the documentation states
that the function should be called only before wiphy_register(), not
during ndo_open). :-)

But OTOH, that fix to the driver is simple and looks correct to me since
it only ever has a static regdomain, and the notifier does the work of
applying it to the channels as well.

One thing which I forgot to mention earlier, it is not just lockdep complaining
this appears to be a real deadlock, the wifi no longer functions, where
as it does function with the patch drops.

Right.
