brcmsmac on BCM47XX SoCs

[Hauke Mehrtens <hauke@hauke-m.de>]

Hi Arend,

I am currently trying to get brcmsmac running on my SoC (bcm4718 +
bcm43224). Using the sprom from bcma and not fetching it in brcmsmac was
not a big problem, are you interested in the patch?
I want to remove the pci code from brcmsmac as it should go into bcma
and some/most parts of the code are already there. I already did some of
this but I still have problems with my device, have you already started
this? I do not know if these problems  are related to my changes or some
other problems with my devices and brcmsmac.

I want to get AP mode working on these device with brcmsmac, but for now
I do not even get station mode running. ;-)

Are there any devices with a ccrev < 20 supported by brcmsmac, the
lowest version I saw was 31 and there are some conditions in brcmsmac
for < 6, < 10 and < 20?

What are your plans to support phy_ht in brcmsmac, for now it is just
supported by b43?

I am a little confused by the vendorid/vid and vendorid/did and the
boardvendor and boardtype members. brcms_c_chipmatch() uses vendorid and
vendorid from the pci config space, but what is the equivalent for SoCs
not on pci bus? boardvendor and boardtype are fetched in
ai_nvram_process and are fetched from nvram when an SoC is used and from
pci config space on a pci device at least that is the way it is done in
the Boradcom SDK.
