The bcm43xx family of wifi chipsets found its way to different

a design change to accomodate supporting multiple firmware api's.
The vender-specific support can be compiled in brcmfmac or
built as a separate module. Currently the vendor-specific support
does not have any real effect. At the momemt looking into SAE support
which appear to be different for Cypress devices so that might be a
first use-case. Meanwhile wanted to put this series out there and
get feedback on it. Some ideas were taken from iwlwifi which does
similar things for iwlmvm, iwldvm, etc.
The patches apply to the main branch of the wireless-next repository.

brcmfmac: add function to unbind device to bus layer api
brcmfmac: add firmware vendor info in driver data
brcmfmac: add support for vendor-specific firmware api
brcmfmac: add support for Cypress firmware api
brcmfmac: add support Broadcom BCA firmware api
brcmfmac: add vendor name in revinfo debugfs file
brcmfmac: introduce BRCMFMAC exported symbols namespace
I think there's something wrong in mail formatting, tried to apply just
for a test and it failed:

Hi Kalle,
Looks strange indeed. I will look into it and resend the whole series.
