I'm not sure how useful this patch is, even though it is technically correct.

The b43 driver was almost entirely reverse engineered from various
sources so there's still a lot of places, like this, where placeholder
comments were written until the actual code that would have been here
was ready / reverse engineered.

That said, I believe the driver works well enough for all it's users
and has not seen any significant changes in a long time.

Thanks,
