Thanks Arend. Unfortunately I can't find archive of this thread, so I
can see only quotations above.

If there is /sys/bus/bcma/ directory, it means bcma had to be loaded
(or just is built into the kernel). However if there are no "bcma"
messages in the dmesg, it's probably because there isn't any device
bcma (currently) handles.

If you can it yourself: remove all 14e4:* devices and do "modprobe
bcma". You will get /sys/bus/bcma/ without "bcma" messages in dmesg.

14e4:4357 is one of the devices handled by bcma, so there are two options:
1) It's some old kernel where we didn't have 14e4:4357 in bcma
2) There is another module that grabbed 14e4:4357 PCI device

The first option can be verified with "modinfo bcma | grep alias" in
case of bcma as a module. Not sure how to check that for bcma built
in.

The second option is even easier to verify, just use:
lspci -d 14e4: -v
and check for "Kernel driver in use: "
