While I like the Idea of brcm80211 going mainline, I'd like to throw
in the suggestion that brcm80211 should be made a bcma/ssb driver
first (AFACT brcmfmac would use ssb, not bcma, therefore both).

My reasoning is that it needs to be done eventually anyway, and the
earlier this is done the less work it will be in the long term, also
it would reduce the duplicate code in bcma, ssb, and brcm80211.

Of course this is just a suggestion, and it's yours and Greg's call
whether you agree with me or not (since it's quite late in the game to
add a new TODO, and I suspect a rather big one).


Regards,
Jonas
