If you know you haven't got wireless working by some reason you will ask
at linux-wireless anyway. And people there will ask you for id/ven/rev
rather than core name reported by bus driver.

No relation at all. It like comparing warm and soft. It will be if you
do something like

dbg_bcma_device_name
{
#ifdef DEBUG
		case/switch/if/else stuff
#endif
		return NULL;
}
But I don't see here much sense to hardcode names other than those of
buscommons/buscores for debugging purposes.

My theory ? o.O

Have nice day,
