Yes, I said clearly it uses Corex-A7 in the commit message and
Documentation entry.
Florian already shared his doubts about BCM53573 belonging to the
Northstar, but I found out [1] that your (Broadcom's) SDK treats it as
Northstar device:
Asus RT-AC1200G+
# cat /proc/cpuinfo
Processor : ARMv7 Processor rev 5 (v7l)
BogoMIPS : 1795.68
Features : swp half thumb fastmult edsp
CPU implementer : 0x41
CPU architecture: 7
CPU variant : 0x0
CPU part : 0xc07
CPU revision : 5
Hardware : Northstar Prototype
Revision : 0000
Serial : 0000000000000000
It seems Broadcom's WLAN team claims it's a Northstar and you claim
it's not. Could you discuss this internally and let us know, please?
