I'm not a fan either, at first I considered doing that on the reg_notifier() but then that also means every driver must implement a reg_notifier() callback, or a new reg_apply() callback. If we do it within cfg80211 it means all drivers get this for free and that was the tradeoff I wanted to review through these RFCs. Unfortunately setting the tx power was the only thing I saw cfg80211 could do right now. I'm still "meh" about this too.
