Subject: [v3.8, v3.9] [Regression] brcmsmac: move PHY functions

Hi Piotr,

A bug was opened against the Ubuntu kernel[0].  After a kernel
bisect, it was found that reverting the following commit resolved
this bug:

commit b83576341664957978e125f5f5db2f15496980b1
Author: Piotr Haber <phaber@...adcom.com>
Date:   Wed Nov 28 21:44:09 2012 +0100

     brcmsmac: move PHY functions

The regression was introduced as of v3.8-rc1.  The regression still 
exists in v3.9-rc4.

I see that you are the author of this patch, so I wanted to run this
by you.  I was thinking of requesting a revert for v3.9, but I
wanted to get your feedback first.

Thanks,

Joe
