cfg80211: add a timer for invalid user reg hints
We have no other option but to inform userspace that we have queued up their regulatory hint request when we are given one given that nl80211 operates atomically on user requests. The best we can do is accept the request, and add a delayed work item for processing failure and cancel it if we succeeed. Upon failure we restore the regulatory settings and ignore the user input. This fixes this reported bug: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=28112 Reported-by: gregoryx.alagnou@intel.com Signed-off-by: Luis R.
