So far I've compared broadcom-wl-5.10.56.27.* drivers with
broadcom-wl-5.10.56.51 using only python script for extracting files
from .o files.

As for firmware,
diff broadcom-wl-5.10.56.27.* broadcom-wl-5.10.56.51
is following:
+sslpn3bsinitvals21
+sslpn3initvals21
+ucode21_sslpn_nobt

We don't need that 3 files so far, but in future... maybe we will. I'm
afraid Linksys may remove wrt610n_v2.00.00.05_us from their GPL
center, like they did with wrt610n_v1.00.00.018_us.tgz. So it can be
smart move to backup broadcom-wl-5.10.56.51 extracted from
wrt610n_v2.00.00.05_us when we still can.

As for additional differences, some single files have a little
different length between mentioned drivers. For example:

broadcom-wl-5.10.56.27.*
lp0initvals16: length = 0xD70
ucode16_mimo: length = 0x9A70

broadcom-wl-5.10.56.51
lp0initvals16: length = 0xD68
ucode16_mimo: length = 0x9AF0
