Subject: [PATCH v5] wifi: cfg80211: move away from using a fake platform device
Date: Tue,  1 Jul 2025 12:56:17 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <2025070116-growing-skeptic-494c@gregkh> (raw)

Downloading regulatory "firmware" needs a device to hang off of, and so
a platform device seemed like the simplest way to do this.  Now that we
have a faux device interface, use that instead as this "regulatory
device" is not anything resembling a platform device at all.

v5: - rebase against 6.16-rc4 and actually cc: the relevant maintainers
      and mailing lists this time, doh!
v4: - api tweaked due to parent pointer added to faux_device create
      function.
v3: - no change
v2: - new example patch in a larger series
