Perfect !

Yup :-(

Okay, I'll have a look at it. How far is AR6001 support from working
with the "new" SDIO stack ? We need that rather urgently, at least at
a proof of concept level.

If AR6001 will take some time to work with the "new" stack, the best
approach is probably if we use sdio-linux with an old kernel for our
hardware testing, and then work with the "new" stack in parallel.

Thanks,
