cfg80211: assign device type in netdev notifier callback
Instead of having to modify every non-mac80211 for device type assignment, do this inside the netdev notifier callback of cfg80211. So all drivers that integrate with cfg80211 will export a proper device type. Signed-off-by: Marcel Holtmann <marcel@holtmann.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
