Well the thing is, BCM wifi chips have these IO pins that tell the BT
chip what the wifi chip is doing. But CSR chips for instance don't care,
they just check what the wifi chip is doing on the antenna. So those
don't use those IO pins.

Hence, I'm wondering if there's any use in the IO pins at all. But they
must have added them for a reason, presumably because their own BT chips
can use those inputs...

Anyway, mostly just idly wondering, since most of the time it works fine
and the EEPROM is actually done right I guess we should keep them on.
