Where are this files coming from? Where can I download those?
Is loading a combo firmware from the mwifiex driver supported?

What if the UART device does not support 3000000 baudrate (think at
limitation on the clock source/divider of the UART)? Shouldn't this be
configurable?

I assume this was already discussed, but the *_V1 looks just like the
existing Marvell protocol, is it really worth a new driver? I did not check all
the details here, so maybe the answer is just yes.
