Ah well that is a question for you, John and Stephen. I didn't use
that *always* given that it would break random build testing whenever
CFG80211_INTERNAL_REGDB was enabled, given that it requires a manual
cp of db.txt from wireless-regdb. With this it would only break build
testing with debugging cfg80211 regulatory, both
CFG80211_INTERNAL_REGDB and CONFIG_CFG80211_REG_DEBUG enabled. If you
guys are happy with it then so am I -- I prefer it, just didn't want
any surprises or anyone reporting an unexpected build breakage later.
