If removal of the CC33xx driver was caused by the removal of its parent
SDIO device then all I/O operations will fail as SDIO transport is no
longer available. This will eventually trigger the recovery mechanism
which in this case is futile. If this flag is set, no recovery is
attempted.

Will fix.

cc33xx_debug_level together with cc33xx_debug/info/error() macros is how
all traces were done in drivers/net/wireless/ti/wlcore/ (originally was
wl1271_debug/info etc.)
It enables / disables traces without rebuilding or even reloading which
is very helpful for remote support. These macros map to dynamic_pr_debug
/ pr_debug. I saw similar wrappers in other wireless drivers (ath12k).
This is also why there are plenty of cc33xx_debug() all over the code,
most are silent by default.

Was useful during development, can be removed.

OK. HW / FW versions are OK?
