AFAIK, the V4 specs have always had the typo, thus there was no patch introducing this error - it is 
original. On the other hand, the V3 specs were modified fairly late in the process, which led to the 
bcm43xx patch that needed to be reverted. I suspect that the V3 changes may have been the result of 
making them match the V4 specs. If that is the case, it made both of them wrong.

No matter, the change is needed to make some older cards work. Now I know why bcm43xx-mac80211 never 
worked on my BCM4306 until today.
