| Then it occurred to me that I could just as well use the WLAN module
| that's already in the device: after turning off the SDIO driver,
| switching to mmc_spi over s3c24xx_spi_gpio, and adapting all the GPIO
| definitions, the mainline SDIO stack happily welcomed the new member
| with SDIO_ID=0271:010A :-)
|
| I'll just go ahead with s3c24xx_spi_gpio for now, then rework and
| switch to s3c24xx_spi when the Atheros stack talks to the module as
| well.
|
| I'll give "pure" SPI (G_SPI) a try when the EVB arrives.

Well despite it isn't the hardware SPI we actually need, that's good
work: well done, that's quite a chunk of the battle.
