If you are willing to sign an NDA, Marvell could probably send off the
documentation and samples for TopDog.  Linville has specs & hardware,
and even has a git tree, but obviously hasn't had time to look much
further into it.

My take: rewrite the driver from the ground up against mac80211.  Don't
use the vendor driver, but use it as a guide.
