I still think you need to get rid of this so we can build-test this driver properly.

This looks OK, though I get a very strange dependency loop warning from Kconfig here. Looks like the driver now builds almost cleanly with sparse/smatch on 64-bit. Two warnings remain, both are bugs:
writew(0x00, (void __iomem *)&priv->pcmd_buf[1]);
cannot be right. This memory isn't __iomem, it's dma_alloc_coherent, so a simple write should be done. in mwl_rx_ring_init:
rx_hndl->psk_buff =
dev_alloc_skb(desc->rx_buf_size);
if (skb_linearize(rx_hndl->psk_buff)) {*crash*. You also later check rx_hndl->psk_buff, but well after it already crashed. Also, this code sequence is utterly bogus. Please try to understand why and then remove it. You should also use paged RX since you're allocating *very large* buffe rs. We found that even alloc_pages(1) will fail eventually, you're doing an order-2 allocation here for every RX skb. At least used paged RX to get it down to order-1. johannes
