Subject: [PATCH] wilc1000: fix crash observed in AP mode with cfg80211_register_netdevice()
Git-commit: 868f0e28290c7a33e8cb79bfe97ebdcbb756e048
Patch-mainline: v5.19-rc1
References: git-fixes

Monitor(mon.) interface is used for handling the AP mode and 'ieee80211_ptr'
reference is not getting set for it. Like earlier implementation,
use register_netdevice() instead of cfg80211_register_netdevice() which
expects valid 'ieee80211_ptr' reference to avoid the possible crash.
