This driver was already noticed in January:
http://lists.berlios.de/pipermail/bcm43xx-dev/2009-January/thread.html#5066
See Thomas's response for details about driver:
http://lists.berlios.de/pipermail/bcm43xx-dev/2009-January/005072.html

So that device controlled by SDIO has it's own CPU which cares of
wireless. As you noticed there is also SPI but is this used anywhere
except Android devices? Driver seems to check PCI buses just to find
SPI.
