There is some work on 3.8, which has more architectural similarities to 3.11. Offhand, the 3.4 version used a "regulator" setup for controlling the GPIOs that performed power sequencing and setup of the part, where as in 3.8 this work was moved to the device tree. Therefore, for more insights into the changes you may have to do for 3.11, I'd suggest that it'd be more informative for you to look at the differences between mainline 3.8 and the "chromeos-3.8" branch of https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromiumos/third_party/kernel-next > By a tradition of open source, as I am interested, and I have experience > in kernel development, I have decided to debug wifi issue by myself.
