Thanks!  So, I'll need to maintain two sets of mac80211/cfg80211
modules: one for drivers that were compiled along with the kernel, and
another for drivers that were compiled as part of the compat-drivers
package.

No, you or the vendor should forward port it to linux-next, then you
can just pick up the whole driver/framework set from compat-wireless.

That is indeed the approach. So integrate your vendor provided driver into your local linux-next tree and create you own compat-drivers package using that tree (see [1]). You have to tinker the framework to include that driver.
