Remove the wext handlers that link to an empty dummy function.
Signed-off-by: Martin Kaiser <martin@xxxxxxxxx>
---
If no handler is installed for a wext ioctl, the wext core will return
-ENOTSUPP to user space. The dummy function returned -1. It could be argued
that this change breaks the user space ABI.
However, it's rather unlikely that an application expects a particular wlan
driver and chipset when it configures a wireless network. Checking for
errno==1 explicitly will already be non-portable as most other drivers set
errn==ENOTSUPP for non-existing ioctls.
