The TODO item named "make spi and sdio components coexist in one build"
was apparently addressed a long time ago, but never removed from the
TODO file. However, the new patch that tries to address it actually
makes it worse again by duplicating the common parts of the driver into
two separate modules rather than sharing them. This also introduces a
build regression when one of the two is built-in while the other is a
loadable module:
drivers/staging/wilc1000/wilc_debugfs.o:(.data+0x10): undefined reference to `__this_module'
Reverting the patch makes it build again. I'm leaving the TODO file
modification though, as there is nothing left to do for this item.
A related problem however still seems to exist: one still cannot have
multiple concurrent instances of wilc1000 devices present in the
system, as there are lots of shared global variables such as
host_interface.c:static struct wilc_vif *periodic_rssi_vif;
wilc_sdio.c:static struct wilc_sdio g_sdio;
wilc_wlan.c:static enum chip_ps_states chip_ps_state = CHIP_WAKEDUP;
wilc_wlan.c:static u32 pending_acks;
wilc_wfi_cfgoperations.c:int wilc_connecting;
In order to have multiple instances working (sdio, spi, or mixed),
all such variables need to be dynamically allocated per instance and
stored in 'struct wilc' or one of the structures referenced by it.

Thanks for sharing your inputs and submitting patch.
I have also submitted a patch to address the compilation error[1].
We can ignore my patch and proceed with your changes.
[1].https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10563873/
In my understanding, even when the common part is compiled separately,
the wilc1000-sdio/wilc1000-spi module still expects separate instance of
common part for each of them because of use of static variables.
Shouldn't it be correct to compile the components required for SDIO and
SPI separately and then get rid of use of global variables to support
running of SDIO/SPI module at same time?

Actually, I have been locally working on this patch for a while now
and I will submit a patch to avoid use of most of global and static
variable soon.

That patch seems useful regardless, as it removes dead code,
but I'd still prefer to revert the 9abc44ba4e2f ("staging: wilc1000:
fix TODO to compile spi and sdio components in single module")
commit for the other reasons I explained.

What your patch does is to change the behavior so that for loadable
modules, you get two copies of each global variable and function,
but for built-in drivers, you still only get one. The old behavior was
arguably better here because at least it was consistent and always
shared the common part.

I agree, I'll queue it up soon, I have other patches to get to Linus

This patch is applied only to 'staging-linus' in commit f45b893 and
it's not applied to 'staging-testing/next' tree.
Please apply this patch to 'staging-next' tree also. Because I have one
patch to submit on top of these changes to delete the 'wilc_debug.c'
unused file.
