The function pointer scan in struct cfg80211_ops is not
supposed to be assigned a function with a struct net_device
pointer as an argument. Instead access the net_device struct
in the following way:
struct net_device *dev = request->wdev->netdev;
sparse gives these warnings:
drivers/staging/wlan-ng/cfg80211.c:726:17: warning:
incorrect type in initializer (incompatible argument 2
(different base types))
expected int ( *scan )( ... )
got int ( extern [toplevel] *<noident> )( ... )
drivers/staging/wlan-ng/cfg80211.c:726:2: warning:
initialization from incompatible pointer type [enabled by default]
drivers/staging/wlan-ng/cfg80211.c:726:2: warning:
(near initialization for ‘prism2_usb_cfg_ops.scan’)
[enabled by default]

Hello Johannes,
Your commit fd014284 introduced the sparse warnings that
this patch fixes. Because your changes are not in the staging
tree or in the net-next tree my patch fails the build on both
of these trees, so I'm sending the patch to you instead.
Best regards, Emil
