Since drv and its contents are not visible to anyone yet, 
I suggest the following code flow for that:

mutex_lock(&cfg80211_drv_mutex);

drv->idx = wiphy_counter;

/* increase counter for the next time, if id didn't wrap */
if (drv->idx >= 0)
	wiphy_counter++;

mutex_unlock(&cfg80211_drv_mutex);

if (drv->idx < 0) {
	kfree(drv);
	return NULL;
}

/* give it a proper name */
snprintf(drv->wiphy.dev.bus_id, BUS_ID_SIZE,
	 PHY_NAME "%d", drv->idx);

[enqueue to all lists here]


Rest looks good so far.
