>>> the sourcecode can be porting to freebsd but not including to kernel

not quite sure about this... obviously enough, licences are there for a reason.

There’s a difference between finding the code, and having
a licence to use it… If I’m not mistaken Adrian already
has access to the proprietary Broadcom driver through his
work, it’s more of a licensing issue.

Still a nice find though, with this and the Cypress
datasheets some things may become a bit easier.
