Last words, The mwl8k series had its history, since 2009 with the
Topdog series (Beyond our scope to comment). The mwlwifi have been
developed over past year or so for the Avastar AP chips, being

incorrect, mwl8k also support Avastar AP (88W8764)

OK, I had used a wrong word. The mwlwifi currently supports 88W8864 and 88W8897 as softmac/hostmac. 

one of the mwlwifi feedback was that the Kconfig description was
inaccurate, and because of overlap with mwifiex, everyone did scratch
their heads trying to describe what each driver actually supports.

The discussion was around choice of words to distinguish 88W8897. The difference with mwifiex (fullmac vs softmac) and has been explained.
