The brcmsmac driver provides the country code from sprom as a regulatory
hint to cfg80211. When brcmsmac does not find a country code entry in
the sprom it passes 'US' as regulatory hint. Better approach is to rely
on the world regulatory domain in cfg80211/crda.

err no longer holds the return value from brcms_set_hint(), so it
doesn't make sense to print it in the error message. The value will
always be 0.

Thanks, Seth

John already applied this patch so I will fix it in a separate one.
