wifi: wil6210: Do not use embedded netdev in wil6210_priv
Embedding net_device into structures prohibits the usage of flexible arrays in the net_device structure. For more details, see the discussion at [1]. Un-embed the net_device from struct wil6210_priv by converting it into a pointer. Then use the leverage alloc_netdev_dummy() to allocate the net_device object at wil_if_add(). The free of the device occurs at wil_if_remove().
