Subject: [PATCH net-next v5 06/10] net: ipa: allocate dummy net_device dynamically
Date: Wed, 10 Apr 2024 06:13:47 -0700

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 the private struct by converting it
into a pointer. Then use the leverage the new alloc_netdev_dummy()
helper to allocate and initialize dummy devices.
