Furthermore, it's only partly SDIO-specific. The same driver should work
for USB- and PCIe-based versions of Marvell Avastar 88W8787 and 88W8797.
The Linux driver is split into several files, by the way, for PCIe, USB
and SDIO, then for station and AP mode.

I think the best way to organize the code is to split it in layers, like
it is for ath.
I didn't know that the code is going to be universal when I started to
code the driver,
so that's why if is in sys/arm/mv.

The code in Linux driver is clean and understandable, although I would
prefer to get the documentation for the chipset and not use Linux as the
single source of information.
What's with the licensing in this case by the way?
