mmm...
In that case, another idea:
1. why not create new driver source code which will designated for 128x.
2. If we have a problem with unified 12xx then lets dived it completely to sub drivers and have only common part as a unified driver. That way you get to keep the old names and just divide the files content to a new file name wl12xx.c.
e.g:
wl1251.c wl1253.c common part
wl1271.c wl1273.c ----------> wl12xx.c
wl1281.c wl1283.c
