Not sure what 11ac chipset is used. The upstream brcm80211 drivers 
currently only support one 11ac chipset, ie. the bcm4335. This is a 
single stream with SDIO host interface supported by the fullmac driver 
brcmfmac.

For chipsets like 4360 we need to add AC phy support to brcmsmac. So far 
we do not have green light to do so.
