2.6.27-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ From: Johannes Berg Not in trees above 2.6.27 as it is fixed differently in .28. This fixes RHBZ 466264, whenever the master interface is renamed this code would BUG_ON. Also fixes a separately reported bug with the debugfs dir being NULL. This patch is not applicable to the next kernel version because both these issues have been fixed, the first one by not having the master interface have a ieee80211_ptr at all, and the second one by also leaving the function early.
