This could be a bit more descriptive...

This should be __le32 instead.

I have a slight preference to use #defines for this kind of definition,
but we use it in both ways currently, so no need to change.

It is common practice to add a , after the last value in the
enumeration, so that if any new lines are added in the future, the
previous one doesn't need to be changed.  So please change to this:

+	WL1271_ACX_FW_CAP_BIT_MASK_RD_INITIATION              =  BIT(5),

I don't like this macro.  I'd rather have this explicitly defined
(despite twice) in wl1271_band_2ghz and wl1271_band_5ghz.

Also, it would be nice to avoid using magic numbers (ie. 65).  Is it
possible to define a descriptive macro for instead?
