[PATCH net-next 00/10] use appropriate APIs to get interfaces

Under rtnl_lock protection, we should use __dev_get_name/index()
rather than dev_get_name()/index() to find interface handlers
because the former interfaces can help us avoid to change interface
reference counter.

Ying Xue (10):
Drivers: Staging: cxt1e1: use __dev_get_name instead of dev_get_name
to find interfaces
bonding: use __dev_get_by_name instead of dev_get_by_name to find
interface
eql: use __dev_get_by_name instead of dev_get_by_name to find
interface
dcb: use __dev_get_by_name instead of dev_get_by_name to find
interface
decnet: use __dev_get_by_index instead of dev_get_by_index to find
interface
vxlan: use __dev_get_by_index instead of dev_get_by_index to find
interface
batman-adv: use __dev_get_by_index instead of dev_get_by_index to
find interface
caif: __dev_get_by_index instead of dev_get_by_index to find
interface
can: use __dev_get_by_index instead of dev_get_by_index to find
interface
net: nl80211: __dev_get_by_index instead of dev_get_by_index to find
interface
