Broadcom brcm80211 shared utility helpers

A small internal helper library shared by Broadcom's wireless LAN drivers (brcmfmac for FullMAC chips and brcmsmac for SoftMAC chips). It provides common utility code such as channel/band conversions and debug helpers rather than driving any hardware on its own.

recommendation

This is not actually a driver directory; it is a support library that the real Broadcom Wi-Fi drivers under brcm80211 link against. It only makes sense alongside brcmfmac and brcmsmac, so it does not need an independent keep-or-remove decision.

Not a driver directory: internal Broadcom brcm80211 utility/helper library subtree, with no standalone driver entry point.
