It appears that TI WiLink devices including NFC (WL185x/WL189x) never
shipped. The only information I found were announcements in Feb
2012 about the parts. There's been no activity on this driver besided
common changes since initially added in Jan 2012. There's also no in
users that instantiate the platform device (nor DT bindings).

This is a first step in removing TI ST (shared transport) driver in
favor of extending the BT hci_ll driver to support WL183x chips.
since the firmware files TINfcInit_* also never made it into the linux-firmware tree, I have no idea who is using this driver. I am actually fine with removing it since it would be easy enough to bring back based on hci_ll driver once there is hardware to test this on.
Ping. Someone going to pick up this patch?
if Samuel does not have anything pending for his tree, I can take it through bluetooth-next tree.
From the looks of -next, it doesn't appear so.
