[Feature request] Allow hotspot / WIFI tethering without active mobile data connection

I just wanted to open a connection to my Xperia X to transfer some files. I have no active WIFI around and also no data connection (and no USB cable). So I wanted to open the Sailfish's hotspot and connect my laptop to it.

Well, doesn't work, it says "Mobile data connection required" (or similar, german environment...)

Why is this needed? It comes in very handy even without internet access if I want to connect to the phone, or if I can open up a hotspot to connect some laptops with each other.

Thanks for considering and best regards, Flox
