I don't think we need to. The policy already states it:
[NL80211_ATTR_SAR_SPEC] = NLA_POLICY_NESTED(sar_policy),
Since we always parse the top-level already in the generic netlink code,
it will recurse down here by way of that policy link, and then it will
already be validated as much as nla_parse_nested() can do again - so we
only do it again here to actually get access to the pointers.

ack, right, I missed that. I guess we can drop the patch.
