[PATCH] mac80211_hwsim: Register and bind to driver

[Martin Pitt]

Hello kernel team,

today I fixed mac80211_hwsim to get a proper "driver" attribute, so
that it works with NetworkManager. This will allow us to write
integration tests not only for wpa_supplicant and dhclient, but for
the whole NM stack. [1]

I sent the patch upstream this morning, and Johannes Berg applied it
to his tree:

  https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/jberg/mac80211-next.git/commit/?id=6d665c5384bbc64c95d87ebde8ce39052a48fa81

If it is appropriate, it would be nice to include it into the raring
kernel. However, it's not necessary to break freeze rules or go
through extraordinary efforts, as we can also apply a workaround to NM
for the time being.

I filed a bug to track this: https://launchpad.net/bugs/1166250

Thanks for considering,

Martin
