As my 4306 is a rev 1 and is likely a version dropped in the V4 driver, I have a special interest in
this question.
My plan is to continue to maintain bcm43xx-SoftMAC for at least the BPHY and 4306 revisions even
after d80211 becomes the in-kernel driver. Of course, I hope that we will have found the killer bugs
by that time, and that maintenance will only require following kernel API changes.
As the work will be yours, you should decide if you would rather maintain the V3 and V4 pages
separately, or denote the special requirements of each firmware flavor in a combined set of pages.
