When I modprobe wlcore-spi I get a kernel crash.  Has anyone
encountered this?  I found a similar problem here:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-wireless&m=135212370625698&w=2

I tried adding the patch mentioned there to backports-3.12-1, but I
get this build error: "error: 'struct wl1271' has no member named
'set_power'"

Here's the crash:

[   98.325693] Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at

I think this should help:

As I mentioned above, I get a compile error with that patch: the
wl1271 struct doesn't have "set_power".

I got the patch to compile by adding "void (*set_power)(bool enable);"
to the wl1271 struct in wlcore.h.  Now the driver loads without
crashing, but I get a new error:
