As you know we currently have two linux drivers. brcmfmac is a fullmac
architecture for cfg80211, brcmsmac is a softmac architecture for
mac80211. The brcmfmac driver will get usb support soon (when I finish
my testing over here) but it supports another device (ie. bcm43236).

The bcm43231 has another architecture and can not be supported by either
of the drivers.
