There has been some discussion about what is expected from
a maintainer and so a cleanup seems to be in order. A dedicated
mailing list has been created to discuss brcm80211 specific
development issues. Keeping the status as Supported although
help in maintaining this driver is welcomed.

changelog:
  V2: let's not orphan the drivers for now

The discussion around the SAE password patch [1] was a lively one
and at some point I wanted to drop the ball and be done with it.
However, when the emotions subsided and people offered to help out
with maintaining the brcm80211 drivers I decided to stay on for the
job. The discussion had some valid points specifically on my actual
involvement. Hopefully I can improve in that aspect. I sharpened my
email filters to keep better eye on brcm80211 related queryies,
patches and what not.

Another step taken is the creation of a specific mailing list for
brcm80211 development topics:

<brcm80211@lists.linux.dev>

The driver wireless wiki can also use a cleanup. Probably will add
a list of people who volunteer to perform regression testing with
the chipsets they have available.

Hope we can move on in a relatively fresh new year and leave the
frustration behind us.

This patch was based on the wireless tree, but it probably applies
to wireless-next as well. I am fine either way.

Regards,
Arend
