Subject: [BUG] Problem with commit cf03c5dac83609f09d9f0e9fa3c09d86daed614d

Hi Seth,

today, I noticed a problem with the current kernel
(3.5.0-04773-gbdc0077): my laptop hangs during boot -- the last message
on the console is printed just before invoking `udevadm trigger'.

I bisected the problem and ended at commit
cf03c5dac83609f09d9f0e9fa3c09d86daed614d (brcm80211: smac: inform
mac80211 of the X2 regulatory domain).  However, I'm not sure that this
commit really is the reason for my problems, because the behaviour is a
bit different: at that state the machine not just hangs but the console
shows a trace which I append to the end of this mail -- but the trace
happens at the same state during the boot process.

Best regards,

Dirk
