Subject: [PATCH] brcmfmac: use const char * for interface name in brcmf_add_if
Date: Fri, 17 Jun 2016 12:48:44 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1466160530-32626-1-git-send-email-zajec5@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1464378815-23282-1-git-send-email-zajec5@gmail.com>

This function can work just fine with const pointer, it only calls
alloc_netdev which take const as well. Moreover it makes this function
more flexible as some cfg80211 callback may provide const char * as
well, e.g. add_virtual_intf. This will be needed for more advanced
interface management.
