From faae54ad4151f120bde60fd6e2b2a40e0de8ac73 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Chaitanya Tata Date: Thu, 24 Jan 2019 16:13:02 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] cfg80211: reg: remove warn_on for a normal case If there are simulatenous queries of regdb, then there might be a case where multiple queries can trigger request_firmware_no_wait and can have parallel callbacks being executed asynchronously. In this scenario we might hit the WARN_ON. So remove the warn_on, as the code already handles multiple callbacks gracefully.
