I'll skip this patch for now, as it needs to be reworked for backwards
compatibility with compat-wireless. We have a solution that I'll
implement soon (thanks Arik for the good discussions!).
And once we touch the platform data again, we need to add some version
numbering, so we don't keep breaking the ABI between the board files and
the driver. More details to follow. ;)
