From 71e5e886806ee3f8e0c44ed945eb2e4d6659c6e3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Berg Date: Mon, 1 Oct 2018 11:43:00 +0200 Subject: cfg80211: regulatory: make initialization more robust Since my change to split out the regulatory init to occur later, any issues during earlier cfg80211_init() or errors during the platform device allocation would lead to crashes later. Make this more robust by checking that the earlier initialization succeeded.
