[PATCH net-next v4 3/9] net: marvell: prestera: allocate dummy net_device dynamically

[Breno Leitao]

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.
