The .ndo_do_ioctl() netdev operation used to be how one communicates

it is purely internal to the kernel.

Removing the cops appletalk/localtalk driver made me revisit the
missing pieces from that older series, removing all the unused
implementations in wireless drivers as well as the two kernel-internal
callers in the ieee802154 and appletalk stacks.

One ethernet driver was already merged in the meantime that should
have used .ndo_eth_ioctl instead of .ndo_do_ioctl, so fix that as well.
With the complete removal, any future drivers making this mistake
cause build failures that are easier to spot.

Kalle, Johannes, do these apply for you?
I'm getting a small conflict on patch 8 and bigger one on patch 9.
If this applies for you maybe you can take it and flush out
wireless-next soon after?
