Subject: [PATCH v2 00/10] remove final .ndo_do_ioctl references
The .ndo_do_ioctl() netdev operation used to be how one communicates
with a network driver from userspace, but since my previous cleanup [1],
it is purely internal to the kernel.
Removing the cops appletalk/localtalk driver made me revisit the
missing pieces from that older series, removing all the unused
implementations in wireless drivers as well as the two kernel-internal
callers in the ieee802154 and appletalk stacks.
One ethernet driver was already merged in the meantime that should
have used .ndo_eth_ioctl instead of .ndo_do_ioctl, so fix that as well.
With the complete removal, any future drivers making this mistake
cause build failures that are easier to spot.

Hope that helps, I had commented on the cops removal about sending
this but of course not everyone here saw that. Let me know if I should
resend the patches together with the cover letter.

I'm getting a small conflict on patch 8 and bigger one on patch 9. If this applies for you maybe you can take it and flush out wireless-next soon after?

Yes, 'git am -3' was able to solve the conflicts automatically and these do apply to wireless-next. > If this applies for you maybe you can take it and flush out > wireless-next soon after? Ok, we'll do that. Does next Wednesday sound soon enough? :)
