Although this is true 99% of the time the first time this happens this could not be true. This fixes an oops in the branch check for the last_request when accessing drv_last_ie. The access was done under the assumption the struct won't be null. Note to stable: to port to 29 replace as follows, only 29 has country IE code: s|NL80211_REGDOM_SET_BY_COUNTRY_IE|REGDOM_SET_BY_COUNTRY_IE Cc: stable@kernel.org Reported-by: Quentin Armitage Signed-off-by: Luis R.
