From: Chen Zhongjin <chenzhongjin@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 833a9fd28c9b7ccb39a334721379e992dc1c0c89 ] In regulatory_init_db(), when it's going to return a error, reg_pdev should be unregistered. When load_builtin_regdb_keys() fails it doesn't do it and makes cfg80211 can't be reload with report: sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/devices/platform/regulatory.0' ... <TASK> dump_stack_lvl+0x79/0x9b sysfs_warn_dup.cold+0x1c/0x29 sysfs_create_dir_ns+0x22d/0x290 kobject_add_internal+0x247/0x800 kobject_add+0x135/0x1b0 device_add+0x389/0x1be0 platform_device_add+0x28f/0x790 platform_device_register_full+0x376/0x4b0 regulatory_init+0x9a/0x4b2 [cfg80211] cfg80211_init+0x84/0x113 [cfg80211] ...
