    [PATCH] hostap: Remove hw specific dev_open/close handlers · bab76198
    Jouni Malinen authored
    Host AP driver used hardware model specific dev_open/close handlers
    that were called on dev_open/close if the hardware driver had
    registered the handler. These were only used for hostap_cs and only
    for tracking whether any of the netdevs were UP. This information is
    already available from local->num_dev_open, so there is not need for
    the special open/close handler.
    
    Let's get rid of these handlers. In addition to cleaning up the code,
    this fixes a module refcounting issue for hostap_cs where ejecting the
    card while any of the netdevs were open did not decrement refcount
    properly.
