From: Bartosz Golaszewski <bgolaszewski@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Not using a proxy structure to store struct net_device doesn't save anything in terms of compiled code size or memory usage but significantly decreases the readability of the code with all the pointer casting. Define struct net_device_devres and use it in devm_alloc_etherdev_mqs().
