nl80211 data prior to nested attributes funky

[Luis R. Rodriguez]

If you try to rename a wiphy multiple times with iw you will get
something like this:

wiphy rename: phy #1 to 2
wiphy rename: phy #1 to 3

This just shows an example of an issue I am seeing with another
multicast message I'm working on. I thought it was my code but I've
asked Pat to test and he also saw it. I'd dig more but I have am going
to work on fixing the cfg80211 reg oops with "EU" now.

I don't see any error?

# iw phy phy0 set name falafel
# iw phy falafel set name guacamole
# iw phy guacamole set name phy1
command failed: Invalid argument (-22)
# iw phy guacamole set name phy0

where I will get in iw event:

$ iw event
wiphy rename: phy #0 to falafel
wiphy rename: phy #0 to guacamole
wiphy rename: phy #0 to phy0

were you expecting the old name, rather than the index?
