I rebased our internel backports tree to backports/master and now I get
the following build error when backporting to 3.13 kernel:
/tmp/brcm-backports-gb8d29dc/drivers/net/wireless/brcm80211/brcmfmac/p2p.c:2315:11:
error: ���struct net_device��� has no member named ���name_assign_type���
ifp->ndev->name_assign_type = name_assign_type;
Obviously struct netdevice does not have name_assign_type in older
kernels, ie. kernels < 3.17 looking at
backport-include/linux/netdevice.h. Just not sure what made this issue
come up. The assignment was introduced by:
commit 6bab2e19c5ffd1f21b28c2cabb3801a37b77ae69

cfg80211: pass name_assign_type to rdev_add_virtual_intf()
Probably need to rework brcmfmac code to avoid the assignment and pass
the name_assign_type to the alloc_netdev call. If there is an easier way
feel free to let me know.
Regards,
Arend
