Re: [PATCH 00/19] staging/wilc1000 cleanups

[Tony Cho]

Hi Arnd,
I expect your opinion but I would like to make the patch to revert
the commit bcc43a4b5ed75285aeacf2cf8d9b96d6379fb429 if you don't mind
because the WILC1000 in staging still has compile errors.
Then, we had better make patch for your concerns.

I always appreciate your review and contribution.

Thanks,
Tony.
