Re: [PATCH v3] staging: rtl8723bs: Remove manual ifname allocation

The manual ifname allocation via dev_alloc_name() is redundant because
the networking core handles interface naming automatically during
register_netdev().

Remove the ifname module parameter, the corresponding field from
struct registry_priv, and the rtw_init_netdev_name() callpath.

Changes in v3:
- Added missing changelog.

Changes in v2:
- Removed rtw_init_netdev_name() and the entire manual naming callpath 
  instead of hardcoding "wlan%d", as suggested by Greg KH.

This does not apply against the latest staging-testing branch, can you
rebase and resend?

thanks,
