====================
pull-request: wireless-drivers-next 2016-07-22

I'm sick so I have to keep this short, but here's the last pull request
to net-next. This time there's a trivial conflict with mtd tree:

http://lkml.kernel.org/g/20160720123133.44dab209@canb.auug.org.au

We concluded with Brian (CCed) that it's best that we ask Linus to fix
this. The patches have been in linux-next for a couple of days. This
time I haven't done any merge tests so I don't know if there are any
other conflicts etc.

Please let me know if there are any problems.

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.
