When build wifi driver based on next-20230224 Linux code, will observe
the following build errors.
/work/mwifiex/mxm_wifiex/wlan_src/mlinux/moal_shim.c: In function ‘moal_recv_event’:

make[1]: Leaving directory '/work/linux-nxp-rebase'
This is caused by kernel patch b345f0637c00("wifi: cfg80211: include
puncturing bitmap in channel switch events"), now
cfg80211_ch_switch_notify() needs four parameters.
Note: The patch was introduced in L6.2 kernel next tree, but in L6.3
kernel linus tree, so maybe you need to change the kernel version to
L6.3 after we rebase the linux-nxp-rebase to L6.3.

will observe the following build warning.
Need to use eth_hw_addr_set function instead of writing the address
directly to net_device::dev_addr. Make sure we don't cast off const
qualifier from dev->dev_addr.

This is because the upgarded kernel change the netdevs
registration/unregistration semantics, new kernel require the drivers
to call cfg80211_(un)register_netdevice() when this is happening due to
a cfg80211 request.
