Thanks, I'll apply the other changes from patches 4/7 and 5/7 with a bit
different split to a number of commits except for the following ones
that cannot be changed due to the kernel build configuration and
interface using the "dummy" word and as such, the changes in hostap.git
would break functionality:

It is fine to rename the interface itself, but that "type dummy"
parameter has to be maintained for this ip command to work.

Those instances of CONFIG_DUMMY are references to the kernel build
configuration and as such, cannot be changed in hostap.git.
