I did a diff against v7 and you are not really making this easy:

You do understand that making so drastic changes during the driver
review is very counterproductive and demotivating for the reviewers?
Before I start looking this again I want to have an assurance that you
have frozen the driver and are not adding new features. I do not want
waste my time again just going circles.

You can continue adding new features but do that as separate patches and
submit them after the driver is applied to wireless-drivers-next.
