Subject: new utility kernel module for detecting cores in newer chipsets

Hi Greg,

There has been several discussion in the community (mainly by b43 and ssb
developers, I believe) to add support for chip core interconnect used in
newer Broadcom chips.  Our brcm80211 drivers already have this support and
we have isolated that functionality in a separate kernel module called
brcmaxi to provide it to other drivers. Currently, I have it located under
drivers/staging/brcm80211 as I am not sure whether or not its purpose
justifies a separate folder (under staging or not).

What are your thoughts about this? I would like to know before submitting
a patch for this.

Gr. AvS
