This code ends up calling wiphy_apply_custom_regulatory(), for which
we document that it should be called before wiphy_register(). This
driver doesn't do that, but calls it from ndo_open() with the RTNL
held, which caused deadlocks.
Since the driver just registers static regdomain data and then the
notifier applies the channel changes if any, there's no reason for
it to call this in ndo_open(), move it earlier to fix the deadlock.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
