Not sure why you think there is a rename from wdev to ndev necessary.
I see this more of a rolled in cosmetic change, but its not a real problem from my side.

Thanks a lot for fixing this and syzbot for finding it.

Dave, could you take this one directly? I have no other patches pending for your net tree (only net-next) and having a pull request for just
this patch does not make much sense.
