If I understand correctly (may be misguided here) the broadcom wireless
drivers are not supported under 2.6; this is why I haven't included 2.6
support.

I will come clean that the kernel patches are from Netgear, I just
cleaned them up a little.  In the patches submitted I have done the
following moved drivers/mtd/devices/sflash.c to
arch/mips/bcm947xx/sflash.c then created a new mtd driver in
drivers/mtd/devices/sflash.c.

My rational for that is that the original sflash.c seems not to include
any MTD references, hence moving it to arch.  I will not stake any claim
to this being the "correct" place to put it.

As for the new MTD driver (again sflash.c) if I understand that would
perhaps be better placed in drivers/mtd/devices.  Again, happy, whatever
is considered to be the correct place.

With luck the non-kernel patches should be more or less clean...

Indeed it does ;)
