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

Hi Arnd,
First of all, I would like to say "thank you" for your efforts and 
contributions.
We are updating the driver because new revision came up and making new 
patches
to make it stable and elegant as Linux driver. In these days, we are 
sending big changes
while testing such patches and also doing updates at once.

As you did, we are scheduled to provide the patches making device tree 
and delete all of platform
dependencies as you removed WILC_SDIO_IRQ_GPIO as well as other things. 
So, I would like to
discuss with you for your series of patch.

In this time, I think it's important to make the driver to be compiled 
even if the link problem
happens as you reported. So, how about deleting all of SPI related files 
from source tree and
even from Kconfig for the time being because new bus driver will come or 
revert
the Kconfig and then can we expect the best patch in the near feature?

I respect your efforts and patches, so your opinion is very important to me.

Thanks,
Tony.
