Well, that won't prevent bcma from loading and taking the (PCI)
device. brcmsmac still won't be able to grab that device.
CONFIG_B43_BCMA doesn't affect bcma bus driver.

There are 2 drivers requesting for the same PCI ids: bcma and
brcmsmac. You may want to just blacklist bcma if you're going to use
brcmsmac.
