Subject: [PATCH] bcm43xx: Enable fwpostfix in nondebug bcm43xx

From: Michael Buesch <mb@...sch.de>

The in-kernel bcm43xx driver only works with V3 firmware, whereas the
experimental version that incorporates the d80211 stack requires V4
firmware. In bcm43xx-d80211, the fwpostfix module parameter is used
to differentiate between the versions. In bcm43xx-softmac, this
module parameter is only enabled when debugging is on. This patch
makes the module parameter available unconditionaly, and should
ease the future transition from softmac to d80211.
