Subject: [PATCH wireless-next] wifi: ath12k: allocate dummy net_device dynamically
Date: Fri, 3 May 2024 03:04:39 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240503100440.6066-1-leitao@debian.org> (raw)
Embedding net_device into structures prohibits the usage of flexible
arrays in the net_device structure. For more details, see the discussion
at [1].
Un-embed the net_device from struct ath12k_ext_irq_grp by converting it
into a pointer. Then use the leverage alloc_netdev_dummy() to allocate
the net_device object at ath12k_pci_ext_irq_config().
The free of the device occurs at ath12k_pci_free_ext_irq().

This is *very* similar to the same changes in ath11k commit
bca592ead82528b ("wifi: ath11k: allocate dummy net_device dynamically")
