OK sorry it took a while, I was chasing bugs and did not get around
to doing this until now. I've applied only the first two patches from
the v2 set of patches later on in this thread against v3.13-rc1 into
a signed tag wl1251-pdata-signed here:

http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/tmlind/linux-omap.git/tag/?id=wl1251-pdata-signed

John, please feel free to pull the branch above also into the wireless
tree so you can apply the remaining wl1251 patches from Sebastian.
This way things keep working without creating merge conflicts with the
linux-omap tree.

Regards,

Tony
