    cfg80211: make regdom module parameter available oustide of OLD_REG · 6ee7d330
    Luis R. Rodriguez authored
    It seems a few users are using this module parameter although its not
    recommended. People are finding it useful despite there being utilities
    for setting this in userspace. I'm not aware of any distribution using
    this though.
    
    Until userspace and distributions catch up with a default userspace
    automatic replacement (GeoClue integration would be nirvana) we copy
    the ieee80211_regdom module parameter from OLD_REG to the new reg
    code to help these users migrate.
    
    Users who are using the non-valid ISO / IEC 3166 alpha "EU" in their
    ieee80211_regdom module parameter and migrate to non-OLD_REG enabled
    system will world roam.
    
    This also schedules removal of this same ieee80211_regdom module
    parameter circa March 2010. Hope is by then nirvana is reached and
    users will abandoned the module parameter completely.
