+To-do list:
+
+* Correct the coding style according to Linux guidelines; please read the document
+ at https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/coding-style.html.
+* Remove unnecessary debugging/printing macros; for those that are still needed
+ use the proper kernel API (pr_debug(), dev_dbg(), netdev_dbg()).
+* Remove dead code such as unusued functions, variables, fields, etc..
+* Use in-kernel API and remove unnecessary wrappers where possible.
+* Fix bugs due to code that sleeps in atomic context.
+* Remove the HAL layer and migrate its functionality into the relevant parts of
+ the driver.
+* Switch to use LIB80211.
+* Switch to use MAC80211.
