No, wifi stomping occurs with both 2-wire and 3-wire.

BT_PRIORITY just gives the MAC the ability to tell the difference
between high priority TX and any bt activity requiring the air, so the
MAC can then choose a weight based on differnet kinds of BT inputs.

If all you have is two wire, then you don't get separate weight table
entries for different kinds of BT transmissions.
