It is bit complicated about the history and its chips of the BCA group.. 
Now it is part of Broadband Video Group as known as BVG. WLAN chip is no 
longer belong to BCA or BVG while we still support its software release. 
  So I would rather keep it in magic term ;) But if we really want to 
spell out the full name,  we suggest to use "Broadcom Broadband Carrier 
Access (BCA) origin SoC".  Same apply to Kconfig for arm32 platform.
