Subject: [PATCH net-next 04/11] wimax: fix duplicate initializer warning

From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@...db.de>

gcc -Wextra points out multiple fields that use the same index '1'
in the wimax_gnl_policy definition:

net/wimax/stack.c:393:29: warning: initialized field overwritten [-Woverride-init]
net/wimax/stack.c:397:28: warning: initialized field overwritten [-Woverride-init]
net/wimax/stack.c:398:26: warning: initialized field overwritten [-Woverride-init]

This seems to work since all four use the same NLA_U32 value, but it
still appears to be wrong. In addition, there is no intializer for
WIMAX_GNL_MSG_PIPE_NAME, which uses the same index '2' as
WIMAX_GNL_RFKILL_STATE.

Johannes already changed this twice to improve it, but I don't think
there is a good solution, so try to work around it by using a
numeric index and adding comments.

Fixes: b61a5eea5904 ("wimax: use genl_register_family_with_ops()")
