Embedding net_device into structures prohibits the usage of flexible
arrays in the net_device structure. For more details, see the discussion
at [1].
Un-embed the net_devices from struct mt76_dev by converting them
into pointers, and allocating them dynamically. Use the leverage
alloc_netdev_dummy() to allocate the net_device object at
mt76_dma_init().
The free of the device occurs at mt76_dma_cleanup().

Changelog:
* v2:
- Renamed mt76_from_netdev() to mt76_priv(), and returns a
void pointer instead of struct mt76_dev, avoiding the cast
later, as suggested by Simon Horman.
Thanks for the update, it looks good to me.
