This approach is making the assumption that regulatory hint
disconnects should only be issued for devices that use country IEs
which I do not think should the place within the SME code, can you
instead stuff this handle this in net/wireless/reg.c ? For example --
beacon hints should be cleared even though the regulatory setting on
the device is not cleared. Your patch does not address that.
