When I added scanning to cfg80211, we got a lock dependency like this:
rtnl --> cfg80211_mtx
nl80211, on the other hand, has the reverse lock dependency:
cfg80211_mtx --> rtnl
which clearly is a bad idea. This patch reworks nl80211 to take these
two locks in the other order to fix the possible, and easily
triggerable, deadlock.

This makes nl80211 export the supported commands (command groups)

The scan capability added to cfg80211/nl80211 introduced a
dependency on nl80211 by cfg80211. We can thus no longer have
just cfg80211 without nl80211. Specifically, cfg80211_scan_done()
calls nl80211_send_scan_aborted() or nl80211_send_scan_done().
Now we remove the option for user to select nl80211. It will always
be compiled if user selects cfg80211.

NL80211_CMD_GET_MESH_PARAMS and NL80211_CMD_SET_MESH_PARAMS handlers
did not verify whether a function pointer is NULL (not supported by
the driver) before trying to call the function. The former nl80211
command is available for unprivileged users, too, so this can
potentially allow normal users to kill networking (or worse..) if
mac80211 is built without CONFIG_MAC80211_MESH=y.

When devices are world roaming they cannot beacon or do active scan
on 5 GHz or on channels 12, 13 and 14 on the 2 GHz band. Although
we have a good regulatory API some cards may _always_ world roam, this
is also true when a system does not have CRDA present. Devices doing world
roaming can still passive scan, if they find a beacon from an AP on
one of the world roaming frequencies we make the assumption we can do
the same and we also remove the passive scan requirement.
This adds support for providing beacon regulatory hints based on scans.
This works for devices that do either hardware or software scanning.
If a channel has not yet been marked as having had a beacon present
on it we queue the beacon hint processing into the workqueue.
All wireless devices will benefit from beacon regulatory hints from
any wireless device on a system including new devices connected to
the system at a later time.

The current static world regulatory domain is too restrictive,
we can use some 5 GHz channels world wide so long as they do not

Calling kobject_uevent_env() can fail mainly due to out of
memory conditions. We do not want to continue during such
conditions so propagate that as well instead of letting
cfg80211 load as if everything is peachy.
Additionally lets clarify that when CRDA is not called during
cfg80211's initialization _and_ if the error is not an -ENOMEM
its because kobject_uevent_env() failed to call CRDA, not because
CRDA failed. For those who want to find out why we also let you
do so by enabling the kernel config CONFIG_CFG80211_REG_DEBUG --
you'll get an actual stack trace.
So for now we'll treat non -ENOMEM kobject_uevent_env() failures as
non fatal during cfg80211's initialization.

So fill qual.qual with the qual.level value clamped to
