Subject: prism54: set netdev type to "wlan"
From: Dan Williams <dcbw@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 8e3ffa471091c560deb6738ed9ab7445b7a5fd04 upstream.
Userspace uses the netdev devtype for stuff like device naming and type
detection. Be nice and set it. Remove the pointless #if/#endif around
SET_NETDEV_DEV too.
