[PATCH v2 10/10] net: remove ndo_do_ioctl handler

From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@kernel.org>
Date: 2023-10-11 14:24:02
Also in: linux-doc, linux-wireless, lkml
Subsystem: documentation, networking drivers, networking [general], the rest · Maintainers: Jonathan Corbet, Andrew Lunn, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>

All of the references to the callback pointer are gone, so remove the
pointer itself before we grow new references to it.

Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>
