+To-do list:
+
+* Correct the coding style according to Linux guidelines; please read the document
+at https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/coding-style.html.
+* Remove unnecessary debugging/printing macros; for those that are still needed
+use the proper kernel API (pr_debug(), dev_dbg(), netdev_dbg()).
+* Remove dead code such as unusued functions, variables, fields, etc..
+* Use in-kernel API and remove unnecessary wrappers where possible.
+* Remove the HAL layer and migrate its functionality into the relevant parts of
+the driver.
+* Switch to use LIB80211 (This work is currently in development by Larry Finger).
+* Switch to use MAC80211 (This work is currently in development by Larry Finger).
+
+Please send any patches to Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>,
+Larry Finger <Larry.Finger@lwfinger.net>, Phillip Potter <phil@philpotter.co.uk>
+and CC linux-staging@lists.linux.dev, linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org.
