brcmfmac: add support to move wiphy instance into network namespace
To support network namespace the driver must assure all created network interfaces are in the same namespace as the wiphy instance and flag the support using WIPHY_FLAG_NETNS_OK. Verified using two terminals: Terminal 1 Terminal 2 -------------------------- --------------------------------- # ip netns add brcm-wifi # iw dev phy#0 Interface wlan3 ifindex 11 wdev 0x1 # ip netns exec brcm-wifi bash # iw dev # echo $$ 20337 # iw phy0 set netns 20337 # iw dev phy#0 Interface wlan3 ifindex 11 wdev 0x2 # iw phy0 interface add wl3.ap type __ap # iw dev phy#0 Interface wl3.ap ifindex 2 wdev 0x3 Interface wlan3 ifindex 11 wdev 0x2 # iw dev # iw phy0 set netns 1 # iw dev # iw dev phy#0 Interface wl3.ap ifindex 2 wdev 0x5 Interface wlan3 ifindex 11 wdev 0x4 Note: increasing wdev identifier above indicates issue in cfg80211 which is addressed separately.
