I've checked brcm80211 and noticed defines in
drivers/staging/brcm80211/phy/wlc_phy_radio.h.

Whole brcm80211 driver is licensed as:
MODULE_LICENSE("Dual BSD/GPL");

Mentioned file contains following comments:
+/*
+ * Copyright (c) 2010 Broadcom Corporation
+ *
+ * Permission to use, copy, modify, and/or distribute this software for any
+ * purpose with or without fee is hereby granted, provided that the above
+ * copyright notice and this permission notice appear in all copies.

Our b43 driver is licensed as:
MODULE_LICENSE("GPL");
and I am not sure if permission above is actually GPL-compatible. The
best option would be to add defines from wlc_phy_radio.h and include
Broadcom's copyright. However comment above wants us to include info
about free copying/modifying/using which is not GPL-compatible.

Is there any way to solve this issue?
