You've obviously never tried to extract datasheets from Broadcom, then. :-)  
Last time we did it, we had to sign NDAs out the wazoo, wait a month, and then 
they only sent a binder full of hardcopy (because apparently no one knows how 
to work a copy machine now).

I'm frankly amazed that they got even the smattering of documentation they did 
(on peripherals like the UARTs, etc.).  Some other things, like the PLLs, are 
semi-documented through the Linux driver code they've provided.
