Right now there are stubs for non CONFIG_WBRF as well as other patches 
are using #ifdef CONFIG_WBRF or having their own stubs.  Like mac80211 
patch looks for #ifdef CONFIG_WBRF.

I think we should pick one or the other.

Having other subsystems #ifdef CONFIG_WBRF will make the series easier 
to land through multiple trees; so I have a slight leaning in that 
direction.
