Seth Forshee 69aaedd3cf bcma: add ext PA workaround for BCM4331 and BCM43431
MacBook Pro models with BCM4331 wireless have been found to have the ext
PA lines disabled after resuming from S3 without external power attach.
This causes them to be unable to transmit. Add a workaround to ensure
that the ext PA lines are enabled on BCM4331. Also extend all handling
of ext PA line muxing to BCM43431 as is done in the Broadcom SDK.

README

Broadcom introduced new bus as replacement for older SSB. It is based on AMBA,
however from programming point of view there is nothing AMBA specific we use.

Standard AMBA drivers are platform specific, have hardcoded addresses and use
AMBA standard fields like CID and PID.

In case of Broadcom's cards every device consists of:
1) Broadcom specific AMBA device. It is put on AMBA bus, but can not be treated
   as standard AMBA device. Reading it's CID or PID can cause machine lockup.
2) AMBA standard devices called ports or wrappers. They have CIDs (AMBA_CID)
   and PIDs (0x103BB369), but we do not use that info for anything. One of that
   devices is used for managing Broadcom specific core.

Addresses of AMBA devices are not hardcoded in driver and have to be read from
EPROM.

In this situation we decided to introduce separated bus. It can contain up to
16 devices identified by Broadcom specific fields: manufacturer, id, revision
and class.
