Agree brcm,bcmbca-hsspi fallback is redundant to brcm,bcmbca-hsspi-v1.0. 
I added it to conform Broadcom convention.  But I understand your and 
Krzystof's concern so I'll drop the brcm,bcmbca-hsspi in v3 to get 
things going.

Technically I can combine the new feature to the existing driver v1.0 
but I prefer to start the a new driver so it will be much cleaner and 
simpler to follow without all the workarounds and complex logic.
