This version of patch, which has no dummy variables and few function
arguments removed, looks better.

I think the code without the union, which requires extra wrapper API's,
is clean. The tx_complete function takes care of freeing up the
appropriate buffer so skb buffer would have no impact for mgmt/cfg frames.

'mon_mgmt_tx' can be structed as below

{

        int ret;



        if (!dev)

                return -EFAULT;



        netif_stop_queue(dev);

        copy = kmemdup(buf, len, GFP_ATOMIC);

        if (!copy) {

                netif_wake_queue(dev);

                return -ENOMEM;

        }



        ret = wilc_wlan_txq_add_mgmt_pkt(dev, copy, len);

        if (ret < 0)

                kfree(copy);



        netif_wake_queue(dev);
}

Use macro's to return the error. like -EINVAL.
