Absolutely, however it needs some effort and time. I'm currently quite
busy with other things in b43.

One could remove b43_phyops_a, then remove newly-unused functions.
Then see what code is not used by G-PHY. However you should keep in
mind, that 5 GHz support for G-PHY may need some functions that are
not called at this moment. So I'd suggest looking at 5 GHz support in
G-PHY first to avoid removing sth that may be needed in the future.
