Commit 'dce45ded7619' added support for 89459 chip pcie device. It uses the
BRCM4355 chip which is also found in Apple hardware. However this commit
causes conflicts in the firmware naming between Apple hardware, which
supports OTP and other non-Apple hardwares. So, this patch makes these
Apple chips use their own firmware table so as to avoid possible conflicts
like these in the future.

I think my reply to Arend flew over your head.

My point was that I'd rather have the Broadcom/Cypress people actually
answer my question so we can figure out how to do this *properly*,
instead of doing "safer-but-dumb" things (like this patch) because we
just don't have the information to do it properly.

Fair enough. Can you accurately (re)state your question and I will try to answer it.

Regards,
Arend
