... and they were so "destroyed" that they did not even answer.
More seriously, I suspect Greg's GPL comment is off-topic: "architectural alignment" does not sound like sharing code.
Greg's maintenance concern is likely to be moot as well. As an adaptation layer a driver like this one has two "sides": a low-level side interfacing with the hardware and, a high-level side interfacing with the operating system. Now guess which side Broadcom wants to keep "architecturally aligned" across operating systems?
