cfg80211 doesn't care about that, it only requires you to register one
logical wiphy device. Whether it has more than one netdev or not isn't
significant.
For d80211, however, trying to get rid of the wmasterX interface
requires tighter integration in order to run a qdisc on a non-netdev
wireless physical device. Which gets us back to how this thread
started :)
