I will test you patch on my device soon and will report if something is
wrong. If you are sending a non RFC patch in the next days I would
rebase my patch onto yours. The code searching in the SoCs flash chip
will be added to run if bcma_sprom_onchip_available() returns false.

Appreciate any testing on SoCs. I think I will need some time to modify
brcmsmac so let your patch go first.

The sprom part of my SoC is working with this patch on top of my sprom
patches, but it uses the sprom from flash/nvram for both wifi devices
(one integrated in the bCM4716 and the other a BCM43224 connected to the
PCIe host controller of the BCM4716).
For my BCM4716 bcma_sprom_ext_available() and
bcma_sprom_onchip_available() are returning false and for the BCM43224
bcma_sprom_ext_available() is returning false and
bcma_sprom_onchip_offset() 0.

Thanks, Hauke

Did the BCM43224 come with the router. If so I am assuming the onchip is
not used and the system relies on flash/nvram completely. I will inform
whether my assumption is correct.
Yes the BCM43224 is direly soldered onto the board where also the
BCM4716 is on, there is no physical PCIe port or something like this.
The nvram on the flash chip contains the sprom for this devices, one set
of variables in the nvram has the prefix pci/1/1/ (for the BCM43224 with
the options for 5GHz only) and the other has sb/1/ (for the BCM4716 with
the options for 2.4 GHz only).

It is this device: http://infodepot.wikia.com/wiki/Netgear_WNDR3400

You made me curious so I followed the link. It says BCM4718.
