- ASSERTS not allowed in mainline, replace by warning + error handling
- Replace printk and WL_ERROR() with proper routines
- Remove unnecessary includes, move #includes from .h files into .c files.
- Absorb and delete header files that are included in only one .c file
brcmfmac
=====================
- ASSERTS not allowed in mainline, replace by warning + error handling
- Replace printk and WL_ERROR() with proper routines
- Replace driver's proprietary ssb interface with generic kernel ssb module
- Build and test on 64 bit linux kernel
