Subject: Null pointer dereference in nl80211_set_reg

Hi all,

I'm running Linux 3.10.7 and have encountered the following NULL pointer
dereference. So far it has only occurred once, so I cannot reproduce the
circumstances that cause the problem.

Please keep me on CC: as I'm not subscribed to LKML.

Cheers,
Udo
