I think you need to document the new availability of the dump version of
this now.

I'm not sure why sparse doesn't warn here, but I think that should
probably use rcu_access_pointer(cfg80211_regdomain).
More realistically, the regdomain can never be NULL I think, so is that
even needed? OTOH, if it can be NULL, then you must make this check
after the rcu_dereference, which would make this code easier to follow.

i.e. move the check into this if here
