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 ath11k_ext_irq_grp by converting it
into a pointer. Then use the leverage alloc_netdev() to allocate the
net_device object at ath11k_ahb_config_ext_irq() for ahb, and
ath11k_pcic_ext_irq_config() for pcic.
The free of the device occurs at ath11k_ahb_free_ext_irq() for the ahb
case, and ath11k_pcic_free_ext_irq() for the pcic case.

Is not this going to be a problem with multiple network device drivers
loaded in a given system and all using "dummy" here? While
NET_NAME_UNKNOWN ensures that this is not exposed to user-space, there
is still this part of alloc_netdev_mqs() which is going to be non-unique:
ref_tracker_dir_init(&dev->refcnt_tracker, 128, name);

This crashes on my nuc x86 test box with WCN6855 hw2.0 when running
rmmod, stacktrace below. I used tag ath-202403201010 from my ath.git
tree as the baseline. Sorry that I'm not able to debug this further
right now.

Names are allocated are registration time, I think, so basically all
devices will get an non-uniquely named ref tracker dir. For ethernet
it will be unconverted "eth%d". The name only shows up in some prints,
AFAICT, so not very important?

Thanks for the detailed log. I am trying to understood the issue, and I think
we are deferring a null pointer, which is likely net_device->dev_addr.
Here, dev->dev_addr seems to be NULL.

In this case, and I understand RAX seems to be dev->addr, and R14 is the
KASAN shadow:
RAX = 0000000000000000
R14 = dffffc0000000000 (CONFIG_KASAN_SHADOW_OFFSET)
So, we are clearly deferring a NULL pointer.
Now, why? Not sure yet.
