I am not sure what you are suggesting. I enabled this override

And as far as I understand, CONFIG_CFG80211_CERTIFICATION_ONUS already
enables some code in cfg80211 that allows a special type of regulatory
change request from user space that bypasses intersection.
I always want the module option at least visible so that
you don't have to muck with modprobe.conf just to get ath9k.ko
to load when it's compiled differently.
For the second part, you want the ability to set the regdomain
be a compile-time option like CONFIG_ATH9K_OVERRIDE_REGDOMAIN
or something like that?
Something like that, yes. It should depend on
CONFIG_CFG80211_CERTIFICATION_ONUS and should contain a help text that
strongly discourages any distribution from enabling it in their kernel
builds.
It seems to me that this doesn't gain much. The ONUS configuration is already
strongly discouraged from vendor kernels. If you are already compiling
with ONUS set, is there any reason you'd care to disable the override
module option? When you don't set the module option, nothing happens
anyway...
Thanks,
Ben
