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.
