because the "switch" has 2 "cases" with the same value.
currently, "driver-select wl12xx" selects both wl12xx and wl1251
(because the first wl12xx "case" is chosen)
you can't select only wl12xx.

after this fix:
driver-select ti - selects wl12xx and wl1251
driver-select wl12xx - selects only wl12xx
