This patch is only for the CF/PCMCIA versions of this those chips.
There is no if_pci.c yet inside drivers/net/wireless/libertas/, if you
are certain you've a PCI card you're welcome to write one, should be
pretty easy. You can get help by looking at the other if_*.c files for
other physical interfaces.

Can you elaborate? What exactly here is cryptic?
CF/SDIO/GSPO/USB ?
8015/8385 ?

No, if_spi.c is an indicator that this is for an SPI or GSPI.
There's to my knowledge no such thing as a PCI-based Marvell 8385
chip/card/whatever.
There is, however, some support for other Marvel 8xxx PCI-based cards
in linux, see drivers/net/wireless/mwl8k.c.
