Subject: netdevice: Kill netdev->priv
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=b74ca3a896b9ab5f952bc440154758e708c48884;p=linux-beck.git

netdevice: Kill netdev->priv

This is the last shoot of this series.
After I removing all directly reference of netdev->priv, I am killing
"priv" of "struct net_device" and fixing relative comments/docs.

Anyone will not be allowed to reference netdev->priv directly.
If you want to reference the memory of private data, use netdev_priv()
instead.
If the private data is not allocted when alloc_netdev(), use
netdev->ml_priv to point that memory after you creating that private
data.
