Can you explain how the CYW89459 is related to the BCM4355 family? I
have a patch [1] to add support for the BCM4355 variant present in some
Apple laptops which I was hoping to submit again for 6.2, and this patch
conflicts with it.

Is the CYW89459 just a rebrand of the BCM4355, or just a subset? If it
is a rebrand, it's okay if we call our Apple firmware
brcmfmac89459-pcie* (note that we use per-board firmware names, so it
wouldn't conflict with a generic one). However, if CYW89459 only refers
to specific variants, I think the firmware should be named after the
overall bcm4355 family.

I'm guessing you intend to ship firmware for this. Would that firmware
work for all 4355 variants, or only the CYW one? If only the CYW one, is
it possible to differentiate between them based on PCI revision ID? Note
that our 4355 has revision ID 12, and Apple specifically calls it 4355C1
(different chip revisions have different firmware builds, which is why I
named our firmware brcmfmac4355c1-pcie). If the CYW variant uses other
revision IDs that do not overlap, maybe we should have different
firmware entries for them with different masks.

This seems suspicious. If the chip ID is 4355 and applies to non-Cypress
products, unlike the other constants in this list, this constant should
probably be named after BCM4355, not the Cypress part number.

Note that the PCI device ID for our 4355 is 0x43dc. Other sources call
this "BCM4355 D11AC", which is distinct from 0x4355 ("BCM43237 D11N")
and 0x4415 ("BCM43596 D11AC").
