Hi arnd,

I found this. These should be like this. It works fine.
+	.hif_block_tx_ext = sdio_write,
+	.hif_block_rx_ext = sdio_read,

also, wilc_hif_spi need to be fixed together like this.
+	.hif_block_tx_ext = _wilc_spi_write,
+	.hif_block_rx_ext = _wilc_spi_read,

Thank you for all the patches.

regards,
glen lee
