Not really;

TI's 127x/128x devices are built of completely separate hardware
cores, with completely separate and independent drivers.

You can use one, a subset, or all of the cores (/drivers) together on
the same time.

The mainline wl12xx driver you refer to is a mac80211 SDIO/SPI WLAN
driver that has nothing to do with Manjunatha's FM driver.
