Subject: cfg80211: regulatory: use RCU_INIT_POINTER
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=34dd886c19547ea138634b98a615ccd1fe42cd20;p=linux-beck.git

cfg80211: regulatory: use RCU_INIT_POINTER

rcu_assign_pointer() ensures that the initialization of a structure is
carried out before storing a pointer to that structure. However, in the
case that NULL is assigned there's no structure to initialize so using
RCU_INIT_POINTER instead is safe and more efficient.
