BCM4331 patch against linux-3.1-rc5

[Benjamin Lee]

Hello,

Thank you for implementing BCM4331 support!

I am not interested in running the wireless-testing kernel, so I hacked
together a patch to enable BCM4331 support on linux-3.1-rc5.  Since
others may be interested in this as well, I am posting it to this list.

The patch consists of the following patches posted to this list:

[PATCH 1/3] b43: rename TX header formats
[PATCH 2/3] b43: use enum for firmware header format
[PATCH 3/3] b43: support new TX header, noticed to be used by 598.314+ fw
[PATCH 4/3 V2] b43: support new RX header, noticed to be used in 598.314+ fw
[PATCH V2] bcma: implement BCM4331 workaround for external PA lines
[PATCH 1/2] b43: include HT-PHY in some common code
[PATCH 2/2] b43: make forcing clock common (HT-PHY also uses that)
[RFC][PATCH] b43: HT-PHY: allow writing longer tables with a single call
[PATCH 1/4] b43: HT-PHY: init: zero EXTG registers
[PATCH 2/4] b43: HT-PHY: init: implement few simple PHY writes
[PATCH 3/4] b43: HT-PHY: init: copy tables and reset CCA
[PATCH V2 4/4] b43: HT-PHY: init: init BPHY and upload 0x1a table
[PATCH 1/2] b43: HT-PHY: init: add missing PHY mask/set ops
[PATCH 2/2] b43: HT-PHY: init: add some AFE (Analog Frontend) operation
[PATCH] b43: HT-PHY: init: add missing small-tables writes
[PATCH 1/2] b43: HT-PHY: use separated function for forcing RF sequence
[PATCH 2/2] b43: HT-PHY: read clip state
[wireless-next][PATCH 1/3] b43: Relax requirement for descriptors to be
in the DMA zone
[wireless-next][PATCH 2/3] b43: use 8K buffers for 64-bit DMA to
workaround hardware bug
[wireless-next][PATCH 3/3] b43: make HT-PHY support experimental

The combined patch is attached.  I can confirm that wireless now works
on my MacBookPro8,2.  Please let me know if I missed anything important.

Also, I would be interested in testing any patches that make the driver
work with BCM4331 after being suspended to RAM.

Regards,
