Subject: [PATCH 1/2] cfg80211: Add API to change the indoor regulatory setting

As the operating environment of a device can change, add
API for user space to indicate a change of indoor settings.
In addition modify the handling of the indoor processing as
follows:

1. Directly update the indoor setting without wrapping it as a
regulatory request.
2. Track the socket on which the indoor hint is issued, and reset
indoor setting if the socket was released.
3. Do not reset the indoor setting when restoring the regulatory
settings as it has nothing to do with CRDA or interface
disconnection.

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] cfg80211: Schedule timeout for all CRDA calls

Timeout was scheduled only in case CRDA was called due to user hints,
but was not scheduled for other cases. This can result in regulatory
hint processing getting stuck in case that there is no CRDA configured.

Change this by scheduling a timeout every time CRDA is called. In
addition, in restore_regulatory_settings() all pending requests are
restored (and not only the user ones).

This doesn't apply on mac80211-next. Also, you should sign off after
Arik (and how did he manage to get that X there?)
