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.
