This is unusual, since you should not need to do any register level stuff on the wifi. We do not have said manuals for the wifi chip.
For drivers, both bcmdhd and brcmfmac can work.

To up the wifi you need:
1. Kernel modules
2. Firmwares
and then insert the wifi modules, and use commands "iwconfig wlan0 up" and "iwlist wlan0 scan" to verify functionality.

Test some of our pre-built images before you try to do it yourself. The firmwares are usually in /lib/firmware/brcm.
