Subject: [PATCH v3 0/5] *** staging: wilc1000: Replace semaphores with mutexes or completions ***

These are a set of patches [v3] which removes semaphores from:

drivers/staging/wilc1000

These are part of a bigger effort to eliminate all semaphores
from the linux kernel.

They build correctly (individually and as a whole).

NB: The changes are untested

Changes w.r.t. review comments on v1

1. Whitespace removed in patch 3
2. Removed semaphore 'close_exit_sync'
3. To rework on patch 6 and send in a seperate patch series
