This tells me that wl18xx is doing something wrong. The driver should
still work normally even if user space is old (and vice versa). Should
this configuration file (whatever that even is) have a version number in
file name to handle incompatible changes in a backwards compatible
manner?

But I'm still planning to apply, just wanted to point out this.
