I was just curious, so pulled your tree and tried to just compile it. It
still threw warnings at me for ARM, and even more so for arm64.
I fixed all of them and put that on my github[1]. Feel free to just pick
them from there or wait till I manage to clean them up and send you a
pull request.
And also just a a test, I quickly put it in drivers/net/wireless/xradio,
where it compiled fine after registering it with the upper level Kconfig
and Makefile.

And while looking at it: This looks like typical AW code, not even
remotely upstreameable and probably far too complicated. Enabling some
Kconfig options made it complain about missing functions.
Has anyone checked if this is close to an existing WiFi chip? That
wouldn't be a first ;-)

Cheers,
Andre.
