[This version shouldn't confuse git/patch]

A commit few months ago introduced a change:

- a/include/linux/netdevice.h
+ b/include/linux/netdevice.h
 
 static inline void *netdev_priv(const struct net_device *dev)
 {
-       return (char *)dev + ((sizeof(struct net_device)
-                                       + NETDEV_ALIGN_CONST)
-                               & ~NETDEV_ALIGN_CONST);
+       return dev->priv;
 }
 
This change caused some problems for drivers which used
netdev_priv(dev) and dev->priv for different purposes.


The following patch restores previous behaviour.
