Wrong commit SHA.
Please always check it by running

It would be enough to be done like:

ifr = {
	.ifr_data = (void *)&edata,
};

And please do the same for dev_link even though it isn't relevant in the patch.

What does this change mean?
Is it allowed for representors?

Same here for dev_link and ifr.

Thanks,
