From: "Luis R. Rodriguez" <mcgrof@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Cellular base stations can provide hints to cfg80211 about
where they think we are. This can be done for example by on
a cell phone. To enable these hints we simply allow them
through as user regulatory hints but we allow userspace
to clasify the hint. This option is only available for
system integrators which are willing to enable
CONFIG_CFG80211_CERTIFICATION_ONUS.
The base station hints themselves will not be processsed
by the core unless at least one device on the system
supports this feature.
