cfg80211: treat ieee80211_regdom hints as user hints
We were treating ieee80211_regdom module parameter hints
as core hints, this means we were not letting the user help
compliance further when using the module parameter. It also
meant that users with a device with a custom regulatory
domain set (wiphy->custom_regulatory) using this module
parameter were being stuck to the original default core
static regualtory domain. We fix this by using the static
cfg80211_regdomain alpha2 as the core hint and treating the
module parameter separately.
All iwlwifi and ath5k/ath9k/ar9170 devices which world roam
set the wiphy->custom_regulatory. This change allows users
using this module parameter to have it trated as a a proper
user hint and not have it ignored.
