RE: [PATCH v2 00/43] wifi: nxpwifi: create nxpwifi to support iw61x

Hi Kalle, 

I found Nxpwifi patch v2 is put in "Deferred" state quickly. 
Patch v2 is mainly to address the comments from Johannes and it actually took quite some efforts. 
We understand there are areas to improve and we are committed to continue enhance/maintain the driver.

Could you let me know your plan for reviewing Nxpwifi? Is there anything we can do to move this forward?

Thanks,
David

> v2:
>   - Rename ioctl.h and sta_ioctl.c to cfg.h and sta_cfg.c.
>   - Remove header file semaphore.h.
>   - Use static value for cookie instead of run time random number.
>   - Use ERR_PTR(), IS_ERR() and PTR_ERR().
>   - Use Kernel defined return error code.
>   - Remove unnecessary private ie definitions.
>   - Remove mutex async_mutex and related code.
>   - Consolidate multiple workqueue into one.
>   - Add the support for PSK SHA256.
>   - Use tasklet for Rx handler.
>   - Remove unused functions.
>   - Remove compile warning.
