Looking at include/linux/netdevice.h:
#ifdef CONFIG_WIRELESS_EXT
/* List of functions to handle Wireless Extensions (instead of ioctl).
* See <net/iw_handler.h> for details. Jean II */
const struct iw_handler_def * wireless_handlers;
/* Instance data managed by the core of Wireless Extensions. */
struct iw_public_data * wireless_data;
#endif
There is no dependency on mac80211 but on WIRELESS_EXT.
That is a config option most other drivers select, so you best change your
patch to
select WIRELESS_EXT
instead of MAC80211.
