See if it makes sense to instead start building up a single reg
data structure that has a slew of members. That's welcomed as a
separate patch later...

Are you setting this to false when we disconnect (reset regulatory)?
You should.

last_request checks for the alpha2 are abundent... you'd
have to go review such use cases... One strategy might be
to not treat this as a pure regulatory request but rather
a hint of information, ie, not override last_request for
this type of request.

config_enabled() would make this look sexier.

Yeah this is not needed as during init this will be false, but you
do want to ensure you set this to flase during reset of regulatory.
