We have CONFIG_ATH9K_DFS_CERTIFIED. I like something like
CONFIG_CFG80211_MAY_BREAK_CERTIFICATION given that
CONFIG_WIRELESS_CERTIFIED only assumes the kconfig options it would
depend on are all neatly  developed but they could be still under
development. The only thing about
CONFIG_CFG80211_MAY_BREAK_CERTIFICATION is I suspect not many folks
would be willing to ship with that enabled at all even *after* they do
their homework.

So how about CONFIG_CFG80211_CERTIFICATION_ONUS which can be defined
as an option for features / options whereby the onus for regulatory
certification is being accepted by the option enabler? Pretty simple
and to the point, and would allow for research code but also code
whereby a bit more work is required on the enabler like DFS
certification.
