The commit message could be a bit more descriptive rather than
narrative?

The license file should be in the root, together with the other licenses
and called LICENCE.wl1251 (note the en-GB spelling).  Also, this license
is *very* similar to the one for WiLink6/7/8 (LICENCE.ti-connectivity),
except for some very minor things and the formatting.  Couldn't the same
one be used, for the sake of simplicity and consistency?

When sending big binary blobs, it's generally better to send pull
requests instead of patches.  If you add the -p option when calling git
pull-request, the text will include all the readable parts but will omit
the binary stuff.

Thank you very much for following up on this!
