About the patch: "staging: brcm80211: only enable brcmsmac if bcma is not set"

Hello,

I have a question regarding the following patch:
http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.wireless.general/75638

The commit message says:

   brcmsmac doesn't yet use bcma, but both drivers attempt to claim the same
   device.  For now, turn of brcmsmac if bcma is enabled.

I think it's not quite complete:  both driver claim the same devices
(actually that's not entirely true since b43/bcma can drive on more
card) but in the case of b43/bcma not all cards are actually working.
For example I'm using BCM4313 card with an unsupported phy
(B43_PHYTYPE_LCN) so it's basically not supported by b43/bcma.

So I'm wondering if b43/bcma should be simply disabled until it got
the same level of support as brcmsmac ?

Thanks
