Not really? It's not forgetting it, it just saves it?

+ new_regd = reg_copy_regd(regd);
+ if (IS_ERR(new_regd))
+ return;
+
+ tmp = get_wiphy_regdom(wiphy);
+ rcu_assign_pointer(wiphy->regd, new_regd);
+ rcu_free_regdom(tmp);

This can't be right - the same would affect all other users of that
function, no?

Perhaps somewhere we have a case where wiphy->regd is leaked, but than
that should be fixed more generally in cfg80211?
