The previous version fails to build with Linux 6.13 and newer because
mlinux/moal_main.h includes the removed net/lib80211.h header.
The header was removed by Linux commit 02f220b52670 ("wifi:
ipw2x00/lib80211: move remaining lib80211 into libipw").
The new NXP release skips this obsolete header for kernels newer
than 6.12.12 and includes the corresponding Linux 6.13 cfg80211 API
compatibility fixes.

Thanks a lot for your patch. Could you please resend with your
Signed-off-by line, and ideally with a From field fixed to use your
first name + last name?
Also, your patch was PATCH 1/2, but I didn't see any PATCH 2/2. Did
you intend to send a second patch?
Thanks a lot!
Thomas

The previous version fails to build with Linux 6.13 and newer because
mlinux/moal_main.h includes the removed net/lib80211.h header.
The header was removed by Linux commit 02f220b52670 ("wifi:
ipw2x00/lib80211: move remaining lib80211 into libipw").
The new NXP release skips this obsolete header for kernels newer

compatibility fixes.

The IW610 module is also available with a USB host interface, while the
current package only supports its SDIO firmware.
Bump the firmware release to lf-6.18.20_2.0.0, which
provides the FwImage_IW610_USB firmware, and add a dedicated
BR2_PACKAGE_NXP_BT_WIFI_FIRMWARE_IW610_USB option.
The new release also moves firmware files out of the nxp/ directory
and no longer provides 8801 or 8997 firmware. Update the installation
paths, make the existing IW610 option explicitly SDIO, and retain legacy
configuration handling for removed or renamed options.

Sorry to be annoying, but could you fix your From and Signed-off-by to
use your first name / last name?
When I apply your patch, I have:

The previous version fails to build with Linux 6.13 and newer because
mlinux/moal_main.h includes the removed net/lib80211.h header.
The header was removed by Linux commit 02f220b52670 ("wifi:
ipw2x00/lib80211: move remaining lib80211 into libipw").
The new NXP release skips this obsolete header for kernels newer
than 6.12.12 and includes the corresponding Linux 6.13 cfg80211 API
compatibility fixes.

While that is a reasonable complaint in this case (as the mail address
shows), I have to point out that the warning is questionable in itself:
The given name/family name split is far from universal around the world.
See e.g. the W3C guidance on handling personal names [1]:

I actually know someone personally who's affected by that, she ended up
basically making up a family name to satisfy all sorts of forms. Of
course Git doesn't stop anyone from making commits unless they specify a
family name, but constant warnings must be annoying.
Do you know where the warning comes from? I can't find the error message
in Git or Buildroot.
Best regards,
Fiona

I applied this series after fixing few things:
- I fixed _VERSION to use a tag, rather than a branch
(upstream is a bit confusing on that aspect)
- I also fixed a license hash.
See:
https://gitlab.com/buildroot.org/buildroot/-/commit/0e27b1d8a47c1c9b36e7c5761299495f9a7e8c19
https://gitlab.com/buildroot.org/buildroot/-/commit/c23815ad18883fd47d0065a55e2048dce51ffd03
I missed the past reviews because you did not added the versions
on your multiple submissions, neither included the changes between
those. Please read:
https://nightly.buildroot.org/manual.html#submitting-patches
Best regards,
Julien.
