Johannes Berg d7be102f29 cfg80211: initialize regulatory keys/database later
When cfg80211 is built as a module, everything is fine, and we
can keep the code as is; in fact, we have to, because there can
only be a single module_init().

When cfg80211 is built-in, however, it needs to initialize
before drivers (device_initcall/module_init), and thus used to
be at subsys_initcall(). I'd moved it to fs_initcall() earlier,
where it can remain. However, this is still too early because at
that point the key infrastructure hasn't been initialized yet,
so X.509 certificates can't be parsed yet.

To work around this problem, load the regdb keys only later in
a late_initcall(), at which point the necessary infrastructure
has been initialized.

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

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
