The reg_notifier() doesn't need to process all requests and we don't care
if it fails so a few things for the future if its not too late to respin:
* The reg_notifier() on the kernel can be made to return void, and simply
allow routines to exit early by a simple non return return.
* The comment at the top here seems non relevant as feature is to
support cell base station hints, not to support or process all
hints. That is, the reg notifier does work with the fimrware only
in case of the cell base station hint.
