    cfg80211: decouple regulatory variables from cfg80211_mutex · abc7381b
    Luis R. Rodriguez 提交于
    We change regulatory code to be protected by its own regulatory
    mutex and alleviate cfg80211_mutex to only be used to protect
    cfg80211_rdev_list, the registered device list.
    
    By doing this we will be able to work on regulatory core components
    without having to have hog up the cfg80211_mutex. An example here is
    we no longer need to use the cfg80211_mutex during driver specific
    wiphy_apply_custom_regulatory(). We also no longer need it for the
    the country IE regulatory hint; by doing so we end up curing this
    new lockdep warning:

    which lock already depends on the new lock.
