From f9e10ce4cf86945eb5efcab31284c971877ed012 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Berg Date: Fri, 3 Dec 2010 09:20:42 +0100 Subject: cfg80211: require add_virtual_intf to return new dev cfg80211 used to do all its bookkeeping in the notifier, but some new stuff will have to use local variables so make the callback return the netdev pointer.
