In the upcoming nl802154 >> implementation we will introduce a NL802154_FLAG_NEED_WPAN_DEV like >> NL80211_FLAG_NEED_WDEV. For this flag an ieee802154_ptr in net_device is >> needed. Additional we can access the wpan_dev attributes in upper layers >> like IEEE 802.15.4 6LoWPAN easily. Current solution is a complicated >> callback interface and getting these values over subif data structure >> in mac802154. >> >> Signed-off-by: Alexander Aring <alex.aring@...il.com> > > No objections, and you can merge this via the bluetooth tree: > > Acked-by: David S. Miller <davem@...emloft.net> patch has been applied to bluetooth-next tree.
