Subject: [PATCH 5.15 302/667] wilc1000: fix crash observed in AP mode with cfg80211_register_netdevice()

From: Ajay Singh <ajay.kathat@...rochip.com>

[ Upstream commit 868f0e28290c7a33e8cb79bfe97ebdcbb756e048 ]

Monitor(mon.) interface is used for handling the AP mode and 'ieee80211_ptr'
reference is not getting set for it. Like earlier implementation,
use register_netdevice() instead of cfg80211_register_netdevice() which
expects valid 'ieee80211_ptr' reference to avoid the possible crash.

Fixes: 2fe8ef106238 ("cfg80211: change netdev registration/unregistration semantics")
