Subject: nl80211 wlcore regression in next

Hi,

Looks like at least drivers/net/wireless/ti wlcore driver has stopped
working in Linux next with commit 901bb9891855 ("nl80211: require and
validate vendor command policy"). Reverting the commit above makes it
work again.

It fails with the warning below, any ideas what goes wrong?

Regards,

Tony
