From 9a95371aa26e3cb9fb1340362912000088ff3c3e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Luis R. Rodriguez" Date: Thu, 22 Jan 2009 15:05:53 -0800 Subject: mac80211: allow mac80211 drivers to get to struct ieee80211_hw from wiphy If a driver is given a wiphy and it wants to get to its private mac80211 driver area it can use wiphy_to_ieee80211_hw() to get first to its ieee80211_hw and then access the private structure via hw->priv. The wiphy_priv() is already being used internally by mac80211 and drivers should not use this. This can be helpful in a drivers reg_notifier(). Signed-off-by: Luis R.
