Just for your information, when mapping commits from vanilla to those
from https://github.com/microchip-ais/linux/commits/mld-1.8.0, we've
stumbled upon some subtle but striking difference between mld-1.8.0
commit [0] and v4.18-rc1 commit [1]. The latter looks like an upstreamed
version of the former. However, while commit [0] creates a new 'dev'
member in 'struct most_interface' and uses it consistently, commit [1]
creates 'driver_dev' and uses it intermixed with 'dev'.

Since we don't use aim-sound, we just signal this feedback to you
as FWIW without sending a patch (which we can't test).
