brcmsmac fails to bring up BCM43224

[Julian Wollrath]

Hi,

im running an up to date kernel and since after applying the "brcm80211: 
fullmac 4430 support and softmac switch to bcma" patch series, my BCM43224 
fails to bring up the device.

[ 9519.193496] bcma-pci-bridge 0000:12:00.0: PCI INT A disabled

If I interpret this information right, it seems, like something went wrong in 
the function ai_doattach in aiutils.c.

If you need further information, feel free to ask.


With best regards,

Thanks, Julian

This issue has been flagged by Larry Finger some days ago. Together with
Rafał (BCMA maintainer) we found what was wrong. The BCMA patches for
brcmsmac were not the complete set so likely our coming patch series
will correct the issue.
