cfg80211: propagate -ENOMEM during regulatory_init()
Calling kobject_uevent_env() can fail mainly due to out of memory conditions. We do not want to continue during such conditions so propagate that as well instead of letting cfg80211 load as if everything is peachy. Additionally lets clarify that when CRDA is not called during cfg80211's initialization _and_ if the error is not an -ENOMEM its because kobject_uevent_env() failed to call CRDA, not because CRDA failed. For those who want to find out why we also let you do so by enabling the kernel config CONFIG_CFG80211_REG_DEBUG -- you'll get an actual stack trace. So for now we'll treat non -ENOMEM kobject_uevent_env() failures as non fatal during cfg80211's initialization. CC: Greg KH <greg@kroah.com> Signed-off-by: Luis R.
