Well, your BCM4322 is not LP-PHY card... does it really work better
after that change, and wakes up faster? ;)

BCM4313 is LCN-PHY, so your change won't affect it, not to mention it
is not supported by b43.

14e4:4315 is really BCM4312 (LP-PHY) and maybe could be affected by
this patch... but just in case of core 16. AFAIK our 14e4:4315 are
usually devices with core rev 15.
