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_devices from struct mt76_dev by converting them
into pointers, and allocating them dynamically. Use the leverage
alloc_netdev_dummy() to allocate the net_device object at
mt76_dma_init().

The free of the device occurs at mt76_dma_cleanup().

PS: Due to the lack of hardware, this patch was not tested on a real
hardware, unfortunately.

PS2: this is the last driver that is still using embedded netdevices.

Hi Breno,

I agree that the above is correct, but I wonder if somehow it
is nicer to avoid explicit casts and instead take advantage of
implicit casting too and from void *.

Maybe something like this:

static inline struct mt76_dev *mt76_from_netdev(struct net_device *dev)
{
        struct mt76_dev **priv;

        priv = netdev_priv(dev);

        return *priv;
}

Further, some of the callers of mt76_from_netdev() cast the return value to
(struct mt7615_dev *). Which seems a bit awkward seeing as it was very
recently a void * (i.e. netdev_priv() returns void *).

I wonder if something like this makes sense, which I believe would avoid
the need for any callers to cast.

static inline void *mt76_priv(struct net_device *dev)
{
        struct mt76_dev **priv;

        priv = netdev_priv(dev);

        return *priv;
}

Ideas above compile tested only.

Other than the above, which is clearly more about style than substance,
this patch looks good to me.

Is this patch a dependency to other patches? I'm asking because it will
be _slow_ to get this patch to net-next via wireless trees. If there's
urgency then it's much better to take it directly to net-next (of course
with acks from Felix and Lorenzo).

Since this is the last patch for the whole flexible netdev work, I would
prefer to have it through net-next then, so, we finish the whole work
sooner rather than later.

I will prepare a v2 with Simon's suggestion, and I can target net-next.
I am just waiting a bit more to hear from Felix and Lorenzo.

Thanks!

Ok, even though I hate dealing with conflicts between trees I still
think it's better to get this directly to net-next. I hate "hurry up!"
emails even more ;)
