I should have noticed that this function was recently neutered in a
patch which actually fixes the bug I cared about anyway:
7afb94da3cd8 ("mwifiex: update set_mac_address logic")

So the following is probably a better patch now :)

[PATCH] mwifiex: delete unused mwifiex_get_intf_num()
https://lkml.kernel.org/linux-wireless/20191210003911.28066-1-briannorris@chromium.org/T/#u
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/11281155/

I'll mark $subject patch as Superseded in Patchwork.
