Hi,
I am trying to use an QCA9377-3 based module on a custom board based
around an Allwinner V3s SoC.
The modules are loaded correctly, the module is detected and scanning
for networks works. However when trying to connect to a network, I get
the following message about an unaligned

There is a new dummy netdev allocator, use it instead of
alloc_netdev()/init_dummy_netdev combination.
Using alloc_netdev() with init_dummy_netdev might cause some memory
corruption at the driver removal side.

It is impossible to use init_dummy_netdev together with alloc_netdev()
as the 'setup' argument.
This is because alloc_netdev() initializes some fields in the net_device
structure, and later init_dummy_netdev() memzero them all. This causes
some problems as reported here:
For dummy devices, exit earlier at free_netdev() instead of executing
the whole function. This is necessary, because dummy devices are
special, and shouldn't have the second part of the function executed.
Otherwise reg_state, which is NETREG_DUMMY, will be overwritten and
there will be no way to
Fix bad grammar in description of init_dummy_netdev() function. This
topic showed up in the review of the "allocate dummy device dynamically"
patch set.

struct net_device shouldn't be embedded into any structure, instead,
the owner should use the private space to embed their state into
net_device.
But, in some cases the net_device is embedded inside the private
structure, which blocks the usage of zero-length arrays inside
net_device.

Sorry Breno, I didn't notice earlier, patch 10 didn't make it
to the list. The series wasn't ingested by CI and tested because
of this. Could you repost?
