Subject: mwifiex: fix wrong eth_hdr usage for bridged packets in AP mode
From: Ujjal Roy <[email protected]>
commit 8d93f1f309d38b65fce0b9f0de91ba6c96990c07 upstream.
The eth_hdr is never defined in this driver but it gets compiled
without any warning/error because kernel has defined eth_hdr.
Fix it by defining our own p_ethhdr and use it instead of eth_hdr.
