2fe8ef1062 cfg80211: change netdev registration/unregistration semantics 
We used to not require anything in terms of registering netdevs
with cfg80211, using a netdev notifier instead. However, in the
next patch reducing RTNL locking, this causes big problems, and
the simplest way is to just require drivers to do things better.

Change the registration/unregistration semantics to require the
drivers to call cfg80211_(un)register_netdevice() when this is
happening due to a cfg80211 request, i.e. add_virtual_intf() or
del_virtual_intf() (or if it somehow has to happen in any other
cfg80211 callback).

Otherwise, in other contexts, drivers may continue to use the
normal netdev (un)registration functions as usual.

Internally, we still use the netdev notifier and track (by the
new wdev->registered bool) if the wdev had already been added
to cfg80211 or not.

55bd149978 net: wilc1000: clean up resource in error path of init mon interface 
The wilc_wfi_init_mon_int() forgets to clean up resource when
register_netdevice() failed. Add the missed call to fix it.
And the return value of netdev_priv can't be NULL, so remove
the unnecessary error handling.

5625f965d7 wilc1000: move wilc driver out of staging 
WILC1000 is an IEEE 802.11 b/g/n IoT link controller module. The
WILC1000 connects to Microchip AVR/SMART MCUs, SMART MPUs, and other
processors with minimal resource requirements with a simple
SPI/SDIO-to-Wi-Fi interface.

WILC1000 driver has been part of staging for few years. With
contributions from the community, it has improved significantly. Full
driver review has helped in achieving the current state.
The details for those reviews are captured in 1 & 2.
