missing documentation, for sure
I will add the missed documentation in next version of patch.
Also this should probably be in the ops, rather than here? Not sure why
reg_notifier is here.
I followed reg_notifier implementation.

This also seems excessive if you're not even passing the channel - you
call it for every (affected) channel, but you don't tell it anything
about the channel? Seems strange.
I will address this in next version of patch.


However ...

Why is this even needed? You should always get reg_notifier after this
anyway?

Currently when channel flag changed through the beacon hints are not informed to driver.

reg_notifier will be triggered for regdomain changes but not for channel flag changes due to beacon hints.
