hmm... wvif_to_vif() was fine for me (while to_vif() is a bit too
generic).

I suggest to declare a new variable even if there is only one instance
of vif. So:
  - the code is unified
  - it avoids the syntax foo(var)->bar

It seems you have stacked up this v3 on your v2. So this v3 does not apply
on any public tree. You have to merge your v2 and your v3.

The wfx driver has moved, you have to rebase your work.
