[PATCH net-next] net: wwan: t7xx: Un-embed dummy device

From: Breno Leitao
Date: Wed Apr 24 2024 - 12:12:05 EST


Embedding net_device into structures prohibits the usage of flexible
arrays in the net_device structure. For more details, see the discussion
at [1].

Un-embed the net_device from the private struct by converting it
into a pointer. Then use the leverage the new alloc_netdev_dummy()
helper to allocate and initialize dummy devices.

PS: This was compile-tested only due to lack of hardware.
