Ok, this is the patch that gets me going, and this is sent from the Macbook Air.

NOTE! The BCMA confusion about the sprom still exists, but doesn't
seem to matter:

 bcma: Core 0 found: ChipCommon (manuf 0x4BF, id 0x800, rev 0x22, class 0x0)
 bcma: Core 1 found: IEEE 802.11 (manuf 0x4BF, id 0x812, rev 0x17, class 0x0)
 bcma: Core 2 found: PCIe (manuf 0x4BF, id 0x820, rev 0x0F, class 0x0)
 bcma: Found rev 6 PMU (capabilities 0x108C2606)
 bcma: Unsupported SPROM revision: 255
 bcma: No SPROM available
 bcma: Bus registered
  ..
 brcmsmac bcma0:0: mfg 4bf core 812 rev 23 class 0 irq 17
 brcmsmac: Found chip type AI (0x1381a8d8)
 brcmsmac: Applying 43224B0+ WARs
 bcma: Switched to core: 0x812
 ieee80211 phy0: Selected rate control algorithm 'minstrel_ht'
 brcms_module_init: register returned 0

so this does seem to work, but there are clearly some issues still..
