Hi Kshitij,

thank you for your patches.

Next time please inline your patches into the mail. It makes commenting
on the patch easier. See:
http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Download/hacking#Sending_patches

0001-hex_to_bin-was-added-first-in-2.6.35.patch:
hex_to_bin should be backported in compat. Then we do not need to add an
extra patch to compat-wireless. Patches in compat-wireless are hard to
maintain, because the wireless subsystem changes very often and the
patches have to be fixes very often.

0002-Header-file-pcmcia-cs_types.h-has-been-removed-in-2..patch:
This should also be backported in compat and not in compat-wireless. You
can add include/pcmcia/cistpl.h and include the needed file
(pcmcia/cs_types.h) and the original with #include_next <pcmcia/cistpl.h>
