[PATCH FIX] b43: fix support for 14e4:4321 PCI dev with BCM4321 chipset

[Rafał Miłecki]

It seems Broadcom released two devices with conflicting device id. There
are for sure 14e4:4321 PCI devices with BCM4321 (N-PHY) chipset, they
can be found in routers, e.g. Netgear WNR834Bv2. However, according to
Broadcom public sources 0x4321 is also used for 5 GHz BCM4306 (G-PHY).
It's unsure if they meant PCI device id, or "virtual" id (from SPROM).
To distinguish these devices lets check PHY type (G vs. N).

Kalle: I'm aware it's quite late for a 4.1 fix, this bug was reported just
today. I guess you can just take it for wireless-drivers-next and let stable
guys handle it.

Yeah, I don't think this is critical enough to send this to 4.1. So
let's push this via wireless-drivers-next.

Thanks, applied manually.
