Subject: dev: update __dev_notify_flags() to send rtnl msg
X-Git-Url: http://git.lede-project.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=a528c219df2e865e178c538c7178961dfed5a13c;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git

dev: update __dev_notify_flags() to send rtnl msg

This patch only prepares the next one, there is no functional change.
Now, __dev_notify_flags() can also be used to notify flags changes via
rtnetlink.
