Hi Seth,

why don't you call this from bcma_pmu_workarounds() in
drivers/bcma/driver_chipcommon_pmu.c instead of calling this from b43? I
think it looks better to call some workarounds on chip common from bcma
and not from b43.
According to some Broadcom code this should also be called for chip_id
43431 when turning it on and in the sprom code.
