struct net_device shouldn't be embedded into any structure, instead, the owner should use the priv space to embed their state into net_device. Embedding net_device into structures prohibits the usage of flexible arrays in the net_device structure. For more details, see the discussion at [1]. Un-embed the net_device from struct hfi1_netdev_rx by converting it into a pointer. Then use the leverage alloc_netdev() to allocate the net_device object at hfi1_alloc_rx().
