I'm still not sure why rtw88 needs this, and nobody else does. I read
your commit message, but that doesn't sound like something that belongs
in a single driver still.

I don't think this is what you want; you had it right in previous
revisions:

	if (!rtwdev->efuse.country_worldwide) {
		if (regulatory_hint(hw->wiphy, rtwdev->efuse.country_code))
			rtw_err( ... );
	}

Without the 'country_worlwide' check, you start "hinting" (even on
worldwide chips) that you really wanted "country" 00 only, and so we
*never* adapt to more strict country settings. That's not how world-wide
settings are supposed to work.

Why are you ignoring SET_BY_DRIVER? That's what happens when (a few
lines up) you call regulatory_hint(). At a minimum, that doesn't deserve
a loud error print when we "fail" this function -- you should handle it
properly.
