I see the point, slightly, with the wl1251 code, because it is still using printks, but with wlcore and friends, there's no functional change.

We have wanted to change "wl1271" to "wl12xx" for a long time, but we don't do it exactly because this means we need to change the calls everywhere. So, this is a NACK from me, unless you have a really good reason why this change is needed. -- Luca. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
