That's the intent. If you do set CERTIFICATION_ONUS, then you can
disable this (presumably because you have external OS image verification
mechanisms, or similar).

If you don't set CERTIFICATION_ONUS, this should always be set.

Perhaps it should be renamed to CFG80211_REQUIRE_REGDB_SIGNATURE or so,
which might be clearer? And a case has been made before for adding
CFG80211_FIRMWARE_REGDB_SUPPORT that controls the whole feature, but
this patch is clearly wrong.
