Hodaszi, Robert 0d31d4dbf3 Revert "cfg80211: fix processing world regdomain when non modular"
This reverts commit 96cce12ff6 ("cfg80211: fix processing world
regdomain when non modular").

Re-triggering a reg_process_hint with the last request on all events,
can make the regulatory domain fail in case of multiple WiFi modules. On
slower boards (espacially with mdev), enumeration of the WiFi modules
can end up in an intersected regulatory domain, and user cannot set it
with 'iw reg set' anymore.

This is happening, because:
- 1st module enumerates, queues up a regulatory request
- request gets processed by __reg_process_hint_driver():
  - checks if previous was set by CORE -> yes
    - checks if regulator domain changed -> yes, from '00' to e.g. 'US'
      -> sends request to the 'crda'
- 2nd module enumerates, queues up a regulator request (which triggers
  the reg_todo() work)
- reg_todo() -> reg_process_pending_hints() sees, that the last request
  is not processed yet, so it tries to process it again.
  __reg_process_hint driver() will run again, and:
  - checks if the last request's initiator was the core -> no, it was
    the driver (1st WiFi module)
  - checks, if the previous initiator was the driver -> yes
    - checks if the regulator domain changed -> yes, it was '00' (set by
      core, and crda call did not return yet), and should be changed to 'US'

------> __reg_process_hint_driver calls an intersect

Besides, the reg_process_hint call with the last request is meaningless
since the crda call has a timeout work. If that timeout expires, the
first module's request will lost.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
