brcmsmac: move PHY functions

The regression was introduced as of v3.8-rc1. The regression still
exists in v3.9-rc4.

I see that you are the author of this patch, so I wanted to run this
by you. I was thinking of requesting a revert for v3.9, but I
wanted to get your feedback first.


Thanks,

Joe

I recently reverted b6fc28a1, which is the follow-on to that patch.
The revert is _not_ in 3.9-rc5.

Could you try reverting that patch instead? Does that fix the issue
for you?

Hi John,

Thanks for the response.

Yes, reverting commit b6fc28a1 does resolve this bug. That is the appropriate fix for this issue. Thanks for the assistance.

Thanks,

Joe
