Last words, The mwl8k series had its history, since 2009 with the

one of the mwlwifi feedback was that the Kconfig description was
inaccurate, and because of overlap with mwifiex, everyone did scratch
their heads trying to describe what each driver actually supports.

feel free to correct me on that, but from the outside it looks like
there are multiple wifi teams at Marvell, each one working on its own
firmware/driver set, sometimes for the same chipset as the other
teams, and they don't talk to each other.

so anyway I'm in no position to NAK your driver submission since I'm
not a linux wireless maintainer, I just want them to be aware of what
they are merging.
