If I am reading the patch correctly, there are still some failure paths in
wilc_cfg80211_init which try to call wiphy_unregister on the (not registered
anymore in there) wphy.

Even if I get the general need, it feels weird to have parts of the wphy init
performed in wilc_create_wiphy, and some parts (the features field) here.
Wouldn't it work to just move wilc_create_wiphy content here, since wphy will
not be usable anyway before eventually registering it ?
That's what I thought initially too, but look closely at wilc_create_wiphy():

struct wilc *wilc_create_wiphy(struct device *dev)
{
...
struct wiphy *wiphy;
struct wilc *wl;
...
wiphy = wiphy_new(&wilc_cfg80211_ops, sizeof(*wl));
...
wl = wiphy_priv(wiphy); // <----------- HERE , *wl is struct wilc
...
return wl;
}

That 'struct wilc' is allocated as part of wiphy_new() and used all around the place before we reach wiphy_register() much later on.
