1) Possible brcmfmac fix
I'm working on this for last few days, if that happens to work, it may
improve brcmfmac stability.

2) Better support for tri-band devices in brcmfmac
I didn't start working on this yet, but it should be easy and many
people were complaining on this issue.

3) Per device rootfs for brcm47xx
Everything is prepared, I just need to make sure rootfs don't get
bigger and then I need to specify packages.

This gives us a very short period for working on extra features, I'd
appreciate something like 2 weeks at least.
