I'm sponsoring this case for Felix Feng. It is to provide a new
wireless driver, mwl(7D), for Marvell 88W8363 wireless devices.
The requested release binding is patch/micro.
I have marked it as "closed approved automatic" since the change is
straightforward and the interface is clear. If there is request, I'd be
happy to upgrade it to a fast track and set the timer.
