Hi,

Felipe sent this series of patches a long time ago with very good
suggestion on how to avoid the duplicate code we have in the sdio and
spi drivers.

With this, we create a platform device that is handled by a platform
driver.  The bus-specific module, creates a platform device and the
core module implements the driver that supports both platform devices
(namely "wl12xx-sdio" and "wl12xx-spi").

I didn't apply this earlier because I had concerns about the change in
the platform data, but now I'm convinced it's not a real problem.  It
may affect compat-wireless, but it's easy to solve.

I have now forward-ported the patches, fixed some bugs, removed some
style changes and moved some other things around.  For the changes I
made, see the commit message of each patch.  Some changes are not in
the commit message, but are explained in the patch emails, after the
Signed-off-by area.

I'm keeping Felipe as the author, since most of the work is his.  I
have just tested and fixed it up.

Cheers,
Luca.
