[PATCH] brcmfmac: use const char * for interface name in brcmf_add_if

From: RafaÅ MiÅecki
Date: Fri Jun 17 2016 - 06:49:15 EST


This function can work just fine with const pointer, it only calls
alloc_netdev which take const as well. Moreover it makes this function
more flexible as some cfg80211 callback may provide const char * as
well, e.g. add_virtual_intf. This will be needed for more advanced
interface management.
