But you never use this structure.  Why add it?

The kernel has built in list functions, I would recommend using them
instead of creating something so generic as "struct list" in your
driver.

And how is this interface list used to create a blacklist?  I see you do
create one:

But then you never refer to it in the code.

Am I missing something here?
