hi,
i'm working on porting an old/huge wireless driver (mt6625l) [2] to linux 6.0 [1]
i hang on missing member preset_chandef in struct wireless_dev
struct wireless_dev *wdev = dev->ieee80211_ptr;
struct cfg80211_chan_def *chandef = &wdev->preset_chandef;
it looks like this member is moved from the wdev into some mesh structure...my driver does not support mesh. any chance to fix this?
i looked through the commit which drops the member from the wireless_dev struct [3], but have no clue how i can adapt the changes in my driver
can anybody help me with this?
Thanks
regards Frank

Yes. Make sure the driver doesn't access it, it should get stuff through
other APIs.

thanks for response, commented out the use of the member and the wdev assignment as it was then unused
can you tell me which api-call this should be?
i just want to make sure this is really done as i up-ported the driver from 4.9, so if the api-call was introduced later it is maybe missing.
