Not that I'm asking you to maintain more than you want to,
but why not:

F:	drivers/net/wireless/wl12xx/

Just because Luciano will soon publish wl1271 driver (which will use
wl1271_ prefix) and he will be maintaining that part, no other reason.

But what should we do with the shared Makefile and Kconfig? Also in the
future we might share some of the code between 1251 and 1271. Any tips
for this?

I think we have to choose one maintainer for the shared files (= you! ;). So we could have something like this for your part:

F:   drivers/net/wireless/wl12xx/*
X:   drivers/net/wireless/wl12xx/wl1271*

Of course this doesn't apply yet, because there is no wl1271* at the moment (hopefully there will be very soon). So, for now I think you could have just the F line. And when I add my maintainer's block there, I can add the X line to your part at the same time... How does that sound?
