Subject: [PATCH net-next v6 00/10] allocate dummy device dynamically

struct net_device shouldn't be embedded into any structure, instead,
the owner should use the private space to embed their state into
net_device.

But, in some cases the net_device is embedded inside the private
structure, which blocks the usage of zero-length arrays inside
net_device.

Create a helper to allocate a dummy device at dynamically runtime, and
move the Ethernet devices to use it, instead of embedding the dummy
device inside the private structure.

This fixes all the network cases plus some wireless drivers.

PS: Due to lack of hardware, unfortunately most these patches are
compiled tested only, except ath11k that was kindly tested by Kalle Valo.

Changelog:

v6:
* No code change. Just added Reviewed-by: tags and fix a commit
message.
v5:
* Added a new patch to fix some typos in the previous code
* Rebased to net-net/main
v4:
* Added a new patch to add dummy device at free_netdev(), as suggested
by Jakub.
* Added support for some wireless driver.
* Added some Acked-by and Reviewed-by.
v3:
* Use free_netdev() instead of kfree() as suggested by Jakub.
* Change the free_netdev() place in ipa driver, as suggested by
Alex Elder.
* Set err in the error path in the Marvell driver, as suggested
by Simon Horman.
v2:
* Patch 1: Use a pre-defined name ("dummy#") for the dummy
net_devices.
* Patch 2-5: Added users for the new helper.
v1:
* https://lore.kernel.org/all/[email protected]/

Subject: [PATCH net-next v6 02/10] net: free_netdev: exit earlier if dummy

For dummy devices, exit earlier at free_netdev() instead of executing
the whole function. This is necessary, because dummy devices are
special, and shouldn't have the second part of the function executed.

Otherwise reg_state, which is NETREG_DUMMY, will be overwritten and
there will be no way to identify that this is a dummy device. Also, this
device do not need the final put_device(), since dummy devices are not
registered (through register_netdevice()), where the device reference is
increased (at netdev_register_kobject()/device_add()).

Subject: [PATCH net-next v6 10/10] wifi: ath11k: allocate dummy net_device dynamically

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.
