There's code out there for the TopDog parts (Linville's marvell.git on kernel.org), and I even have one or two of them lying around. The firmware interface isn't that different from the 8335 (mrv8k) and thus the two product lines can probably share the same driver. Lennert and Nick (from Marvell) are supposed to be working on a mac80211 driver for the 88w8687 part, which is probably just about the same firmware interface as TopDog (aside from the N-specific bits, and different TX & RX descriptors I'm sure). I'd prefer to either start fixing up mrv8k and then merge into whatever Lennert comes up with, or see what they come up with and use that as a base for adding support for older TopDog and 8310/8335 hardware. mrv8k was always a bit rocky and never reliably got scan results on the 8335 cardbus hardware I had, even though the descriptor setup and the mac80211 bits looked right. There's some pre/post scan commands that we need to hook into mac80211 which I posted patches for first, but Johannes requested we not commit those until we really knew whether pre/post scan were required.
