This patch allows setting all options in the module's debug region
options file 'wilc_debug_region'.  This functionality allows the user
to enable logging from all regions (initialization, locks, firmware
etc.) of the driver.  Logging from the following regions is enabled
during the driver initialization:

INIT_DBG, GENERIC_DBG, CFG80211_DBG, FIRM_DBG and HOSTAPD_DBG

Before this change, the numerical value set is equal first byte of 
input minus 0x30 (ASCII value of '0').  Because of this, after a write 
to this debugfs file, it is difficult to predict the regions on which
logging is enabled.

The DBG_REGION_ALL now includes 3 additional regions TCP_ENH, SPIN_DEBUG
and FIRM_DBG.
Why did you add these extra ones?
I added them because there is code support them and to avoid a holes in
the range of the options.
All of this should eventually just be deleted, as network drivers need
to use the networking driver debug interfaces, not their own crazy ones.
In that case, can I assume that we are not going forward with this change?
thanks,
