I'm not saying it should be part of this patch, I'm saying that it
should be a patch in this series. Some of the changes you're making
look like you're fixing one bug only to replace it with another
different one.

But back to the whole issue of order:

tstrWILC_WFIDrv is defined in host_interface.h

wlan_cfg_get is defined in wilc_wlan_if.h

A patch ensuring that host_interface.h is included before
wilc_wlan_if.h in all files should be pretty easy to produce, assuming
that host_interface.h doesn't use anything in wilc_wlan_if.h.

If you include this patch, you can avoid patches later to change the
void pointers to typed pointers.

Thanks,
