I suspect 0846:9020 can be *not* a BCM43231. I discovered some other
chipset on this USB dongle when hacking it with brcmfmac. If I
remember correctly it was 4322. Sounds a little weird, as we already
know softmac BCM4322 with N-PHY, I don't know if there is any relation
between softmac 4322 and fullmac 4322.
