It seems getting closer ;)

After changing wl12xx for spi:wl1251 now modules are uploaded on startup.

However this is the output from lsmod | grep spi
spi                     4352  0
wl1251                 75840  1 spi
mac80211              256892  2 spi,wl1251
crc7                    1216  1 spi

As you can see spi module is not used :( and no interface is created. 
Still a way to go.
