    In my view this is a regression and it should be fixed with as simple a
    patch as possible. The alternative to my solution is to revert the
    patch that removed the enable/disable from the ti-st driver *and* fix
    u-boot, because if it doesn't mux the UART2 pins properly (and it
    doesn't) the shared transport still won't work.

    It's a regression fix, not a new feature. I also think these callbacks
    are silly, but it's the quickest solution I found for 3.7 and 3.8.

    To tell you the truth, I haven't even started looking into DT for wl12xx
    myself. So I have no idea when it will be ready. Benoit has been
    looking into it, but I don't know how far he is.
