winbond is a little too generic, please use the same name as the driver
name for the directory.

Again, please give the option a useful name, and a useful description
including mentioning the actual chip name in there.

Also the !4KSTACKS dependency looks rather odd.

This is not a proper Makefile, and having these files in subdirectories
is not really a good idea either. So move all files into one directory
and write a proper Makefile for it:

w35und-y += wbusb.o wb35reg.o wb35rx.o wb35tx.o mds.o mlmetxrx.o \
mto.o phy_calibration.o reg.o rxisr.o sme_api.o wbhal.o \
wblinux.o

obj-$(CONFIG_W35UND) += w35und.o

This looks like some 2.4 leftover.

should not be in the git tree.

neither.


No comments on the code now, I don't think I want to look at it..
