[1/5] nl80211: Add nl80211_notify_iface

Commit Message

Denis Kenzior July 7, 2016, 7:08 a.m. UTC

This function emits NL80211_CMD_NEW_INTERFACE or
NL80211_CMD_DEL_INTERFACE events.  This is meant to be used by the core
to notify userspace applications such as wpa_supplicant when a netdev
related to a wireless device has been added or removed.
