I'd appreciate if you could use wl instead of wilc1000.
Hmm, while I see that 'wilc1000' is too specific here, using just 'wl' might be a little too general. The same namespace is used by drivers/mtd/ubi/wl.c, drivers/net/wireless/brcm80211/brcmfmac/cfg80211.c, and a number of local identifiers in other drivers.
Would 'wilc' work as a prefix for all devices you are interested in here?

Ok, so we need to coordinate a bit here. My patches also go in that direction and remove the global variables from linux_wlan_sdio.c and linux_wlan_spi.c, but did not remove the one from linux_wlan.c, because doing that depends on the last [RFC] patch in my series, and I felt I had spent enough time on it at that point ;-)
Would you be ok with taking my patches and rebasing them on top of yours with the changes you want, or do you need help from me with that?
Arnd
