It's like from PCI database. Please check comment #17:
[  281.996359] b43-phy0: Broadcom 4311 WLAN found (core revision 10)
[  282.544261] Registered led device: b43-phy0::tx
[  282.544338] Registered led device: b43-phy0::rx
[  282.544390] Registered led device: b43-phy0::radio
[  283.943092] b43 ssb0:0: firmware: requesting b43/ucode5.fw
[  284.106390] b43 ssb0:0: firmware: requesting b43/pcm5.fw
[  284.120338] b43 ssb0:0: firmware: requesting b43/b0g0initvals5.fw
[  284.195838] b43 ssb0:0: firmware: requesting b43/b0g0bsinitvals5.fw

This 14e4:4312 is BCM4311 according to our logs and driver loads
b0g0initvals5, so it is G-PHY.
