Took my sweet time coming with this follow-up series, but here
it is. Hopefully, sending patches is working for me now.

The bcm43xx family of wifi chipsets found its way to different
groups inside and outside Broadcom. For the fullmac devices this
means that in those difference groups firmware is being developed
and the firmware api is bound to diverge. This series introduces
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.

The patches apply to the main branch of the wireless-next repository.

Just realized I forgot the 'wifi:' prefix. Hopefully you can forgive
me this time? If not, I can resend.

Yeah, I can add that. When we switched to using "wifi:" I was mentally
(and in my tools) prepared to adding those the next couple of years :)

From my side I will try to shorten that period ;-D
