Right, that's what it does though, no? Except it doesn't have, in the
driver, "foo->conf." because mac80211 only gives it a pointer to conf,
so it's only "conf->drv_priv" (and it's the "struct bar" example.)

So yeah, pretty sure it will overwrite that, and I do wonder why it
wasn't caught. I guess no radar detection tests with MLO yet.
