wilc1000: Improve WILC TX performance when power_save is off
...
The wakeup and sleep commands need to be sent to the WILC chip only
when it is in power save mode (PSM, as controlled by "iw dev wlan0 set
power_save on/off"). The commands are relatively costly, so it pays
to skip them when possible.
iperf3 without this patch (no significant different with PSM on/off):
TX 0.00-120.01 sec 140 MBytes 9.82 Mbits/sec
RX 0.00-120.69 sec 283 MBytes 19.6 Mbits/sec
with this patch applied:
PSM off (TX is 46% improved, RX slightly improved; may not be significant):
TX 0.00-120.00 sec 206 MBytes 14.4 Mbits/sec
RX 0.00-120.48 sec 322 MBytes 22.4 Mbits/sec
PSM on (no significant change):
TX 0.00-120.00 sec 140 MBytes 9.78 Mbits/sec
RX 0.00-120.08 sec 257 MBytes 18.0 Mbits/sec

The messages appears to have been copied from wilc_get_mac_address and

wilc1000: add new WID to pass wake_enable information to firmware
...
Add new WID(WID_WOWLAN_TRIGGER) to send wake_enable information to firmware.
In 'set_wakeup' cfg80211_ops callback, the enable information was not
passed to firmware which is required to handle WOWLan trigger notification
from firmware.

wilc1000: move 'deinit_lock' lock init/destroy inside module probe
...
Move initialization & deinitialization of 'deinit_lock' mutex lock inside
wlan_init_locks() & wlan_deinit_locks() API's respectively alongside other
locks. After the movement, the client count variable(client_count) which is
used for lock init/deinit is removed.

wilc1000: move wilc driver out of staging
...
WILC1000 is an IEEE 802.11 b/g/n IoT link controller module. The
WILC1000 connects to Microchip AVR/SMART MCUs, SMART MPUs, and other
processors with minimal resource requirements with a simple
SPI/SDIO-to-Wi-Fi interface.
WILC1000 driver has been part of staging for few years. With
contributions from the community, it has improved significantly. Full
driver review has helped in achieving the current state.
The details for those reviews are captured in 1 & 2.
