Subject: cfg80211: fix few minor issues in reg_process_hint()
From: Ilan Peer <[email protected]>
commit 772f0389338cfcf96da1c178046dc7e1649ab554 upstream.
Fix the following issues in reg_process_hint():
1. Add verification that wiphy is valid before processing
NL80211_REGDOMAIN_SET_BY_COUNTRY_IE.
2. Free the request in case of invalid initiator.
3. Remove WARN_ON check on reg_request->alpha2 as it is not a
pointer.
