Nope you weren't clear :-)  So my change to that file is fine all around.

linux-wireless will get it first, and believe me they can be tough
cookies because they don't want to get blamed for handing crap to their
upstream.

Well I even grepped for it in the sources before suggesting it, just to
"make sure".  But in fact despite a ton of hits it isn't really used for
local struct names in there, just on structs inherited from userspace
includes :-/  Plenty of it around though, plenty of the _type convention
around too.
