wl isn't used any more.  It causes a compile warning.

It is actually used in the statement above but only when CONFIG_BRCMDBG=y.

This is called from wlc_dpc() without the lock held, so the unlock here
doesn't seem right.  What's this lock protecting here anyway?


Actually, wlc_dpc() is called from wl_dpc() which holds the lock.
