[PATCH 3.13 069/198] mac80211: don't check netdev state for debugfs read/write

[Kamal Mostafa]

3.13.11.5 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Arik Nemtsov <arik@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 923eaf367206e01f22c97aee22300e332d071916 upstream.

Doing so will lead to an oops for a p2p-dev interface, since it has
no netdev.
