I'll agree to that as long as there is a clear indication of any differences between V3 and V4 firmware.
That's also part of the problem. With the v4 driver, Broadcom
dropped support for a number of older BPHY devices (4301/4303 and
some 4306 revisions). Do we still want to support those? Should I
continue writing the specs for the uCode revision it's based on or
should I combine them?
If it's easily possible, please try to combine the old stuff
with the new v4 specs.
I think it's basically only dropped if() branches, right?
Well, here's the problem. There are a few places where a value is
changed (different value written to a register). Does this mean
that the value is different due to the uCode changes (can't tell, no
documentation)? Is it applicable to all revisions (can't tell, some
revisions are not supported in this version)? If the revision
number range in a check changes is that because of a difference in
supported cards or a bug fix?
So, it's not as simple as just dropped if() branches. I can do my
best to combine them (I have done some of this already), but I can't
promise that it'll be accurate for all revisions or versions of the
chipset.
