You're right, although it seems that is one of the "To-dos" of that
module, as the references I find about the config variable to allow
the compiling of that file is the following:

config WILC1000_PREALLOCATE_DURING_SYSTEM_BOOT
          bool "Preallocate memory pool during system boot"
          ---help---
                    To do.

Found on https://github.com/linux4sc/wireless-driver/blob/master/wilc1000/Kconfig
However, it seems that entry of the Kconfig has been removed in the
kernel. It thus can probably be safe to remove all occurences linked
to that option from the driver in the kernel, while the authors will
be able to add them back when it will be a working configuration
option. I'll do that!
