    wwan: core: add WWAN common private data for netdev · 69940924
    Sergey Ryazanov authored
    The WWAN core not only multiplex the netdev configuration data, but
    process it too, and needs some space to store its private data
    associated with the netdev. Add a structure to keep common WWAN core
    data. The structure will be stored inside the netdev private data before
    WWAN driver private data and have a field to make it easier to access
    the driver data. Also add a helper function that simplifies drivers
    access to their data.
    
    At the moment we use the common WWAN private data to store the WWAN data
    link (channel) id at the time the link is created, and report it back to
    user using the .fill_info() RTNL callback. This should help the user to
    be aware which network interface is bound to which WWAN device data
    channel.
