WILC_WFIDrvHandle was:

typedef struct {
       s32 s32Dummy;
} *WILC_WFIDrvHandle;

which basically meant a pointer to an integer.
so removed the typedef and replaced all WILC_WFIDrvHandle with int *

Signed-off-by: Sudip Mukherjee <sudip@vectorindia.org>
---

replacement was done by using sed, just manually removed the typedef.
build ok, before this change total 77 build warning, after this patch
same number of warnings. Might not apply because of some other pending
patch.

Which means this is not the correct fix for this :)

The driver is obviously broken for 64bit systems, and these warnings are
showing that, let's fix this "correctly" please.

sorry, I'm not going to take this patch.
