I did consider that, and if we removed the argument, it would make sense
to add a local "status" variable at the top of this function anyway,
otherwise endlessly referring to wl->fw_status.foo instead of
status->foo becomes quite tiring and needlessly verbose (which means
less readable.)

That's something which could be done as a separate patch.
