Such fallback was used by commit d787a3e38f01 ("mac80211: add support for .ndo_fill_forward_path"). One possibility is to handle DEV_PATH_MTK_WDMA from the flowtable forward path discovery. However, this is only used internally by drivers to retrieve mtk_wdma information to set up hardware offload. Felix decided to use the .fill_forward_path interface for this purpose due to the lack of a better interface at that time. Add a new DEV_PATH_IEEE80211 path which is offered if the new ieee80211 flag is set on in the struct net_device_path_ctx to restore the flowtable with a ieee80211 netdevice. Handle this new DEV_PATH_IEEE80211 path just like DEV_PATH_ETHERNET and DEV_PATH_DSA, ie. this is the last netdevice in the stack. This new flag ieee80211 flag is implicitly unset for mtk_ppe and airoha which call dev_fill_forward_path() to retrieve a DEV_PATH_MTK_WDMA path.
