    cfg80211: warn if db.txt is empty with CONFIG_CFG80211_INTERNAL_REGDB · 80007efe
    Luis R. Rodriguez authored
    It has happened twice now where elaborate troubleshooting has
    undergone on systems where CONFIG_CFG80211_INTERNAL_REGDB [0]
    has been set but yet net/wireless/db.txt was not updated.
    
    Despite the documentation on this it seems system integrators could
    use some more help with this, so throw out a kernel warning at boot time
    when their database is empty.
    
    This does mean that the error-prone system integrator won't likely
    realize the issue until they boot the machine but -- it does not seem
    to make sense to enable a build bug breaking random build testing.
