GUIDANCE NEEDED:
This patch puts the module at proposed location. Please provide your
guidance if there is a better location within the linux tree for this
module.

This module has been isolated from the brcm80211 driver currently
located in staging and provided to other drivers for chipsets using
the AMBA AXI on-chip interconnect with ARM Device Management Plugin
(DMP) silicon IP, which provides system discovery (chip being the
system) and basic core function (disable, reset, etc.).

The module has previously been posted on the linux-wireless list and
comments by Randy Dunlap have been taken in. Also the SubmitChecklist
has been followed.

Last time you asked me whether it was necessary to have this in staging.  
For this module I (think I) followed the kernel coding style and tried to  
cover most of the SubmitChecklist (if applicable). If I should reconsider  
that is fine by me.

The request for supporting amba axi scanning was raised by Jonas Gorski on  
Mon 17 Jan 2011 "Merging SSB and HND/AI support" on linux-wireless list.  
He was looking for this in the context of SoC router chips offering core  
discovery by so-called DMP plugin which ARM provides for SoC's using the  
AMBA AXI interconnect.
