Does this driver has any relation to mwifiex? Perhaps the same
maintainer team, etc.? Could consider moving all the Marvell drivers
into one directory, but not really necessary I guess.

Actually I would want to start adding vendor directories for wireless
drivers, just like drivers/net/ethernet has, to cleanup the directory
structure. So for example this driver we would have
drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwlwifi and later we would start moving
existing drivers to vendor drivers as well. Thoughts?

Right now our umbrella folder is brcm80211. I am fine changing it to
broadcom if explicit vendor names are preferred although brcm80211
still has my personal preference.

In your case I was actually thinking of moving it to broadcom/brcm80211.
And then we would also have broadcom/b43 and broadcom/b43legacy. So the
only change is addition of a new directory. How does that sound?

As the maintainer of b43legacy, I think that change is good. I will need to retrain my muscle memory to get the right directory when I'm typing, but that will come.
