Yep, I need this fix as well. Without it the ath5k driver built in
bombs out during module_init(). Something with kref and a struct
device pointing to an uninitialized ieee80211_class.
I need a similar fix for net/mac80211/rc80211_simple.c as well to get
ath5k working though, not sure why at the moment. There may be some
bug with request_module() not being called properly.
ieee80211_register_hw() calls ieee80211_init_rate_ctrl_alg() with NULL
as name which calls rate_control_alloc() with NULL which always seems
to fail when built in.
This hack works around that problem, not sure what the real fix is.
