+Subject: [PATCH] brcmfmac: use const char * for interface name in brcmf_add_if
+MIME-Version: 1.0
+Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
+Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
+
+This function can work just fine with const pointer, it only calls
+alloc_netdev which take const as well. Moreover it makes this function
+more flexible as some cfg80211 callback may provide const char * as
+well, e.g. add_virtual_intf. This will be needed for more advanced
+interface management.
