Hi Hauke,

Thanks for the compliment ;-) Let me explain the steps set out to get
brcmsmac using bcma,

1) convert to use bcma functions in all brcmsmac source files.
2) cleanup aiutils.c as it is redundant.
3) look for opportunities to move code to bcma (eg. nicpci.c, srom.c)

For steps 1) and 2) we have patches queued up of which the first batch
was submitted. Keep an eye on the mailing list for more to come ;-)
