+ * __regulatory_hint - hint to the wireless core a regulatory domain
+ * @wiphy: if a driver is providing the hint this is the driver's very
+ *      own &struct wiphy
+ * @alpha2: the ISO/IEC 3166 alpha2 being claimed the regulatory domain
+ *      should be in. If @rd is set this should be NULL
+ * @rd: a complete regulatory domain, if passed the caller need not worry
+ *      about freeing it
+ *
+ * The Wireless subsystem can use this function to hint to the wireless core
+ * what it believes should be the current regulatory domain by
+ * giving it an ISO/IEC 3166 alpha2 country code it knows its regulatory
+ * domain should be in or by providing a completely build regulatory domain.
+ *
+ * Returns -EALREADY if *a regulatory domain* has already been set. Note that
+ * this could be by another driver. It is safe for drivers to continue if
+ * -EALREADY is returned, if drivers are not capable of world roaming they
+ * should not register more channels than they support. Right now we only
+ * support listening to the first driver hint. If the driver is capable
+ * of world roaming but wants to respect its own EEPROM mappings for
+ * specific regulatory domains it should register the @reg_notifier callback
+ * on the &struct wiphy. Returns 0 if the hint went through fine or through an
+ * intersection operation. Otherwise a standard error code is returned.
