Ben Hutchings pointed out that the commit isn't safe since it assumes that the structure used by the driver is iw_point, when in fact there's no way to know about that. Fortunately, the only driver in the tree that ever runs this code path is the wilc1000 staging driver, so it doesn't really matter. Clearly I should have investigated this better before applying, sorry.
