That will not be a problem as no older version of b43 works at all with b43. To
help you understand this change, when the 4.174.64.19 Broadcom driver was
reverse-engineered, the tables had non-zero values. Rafel later compared the
trace dumps of b43 with the latest version of wl and found that the values are
now zero. When I rechecked driver 5.10.56.46, I found them to be zero there as
well and changed the specs.
