Status of wireless driver development for Raspberry Pi?

According to a page that hasn't been updated for a while (https://wiki.freebsd.org/SDIO) work is in progress on Broadcom wireless drivers for the Raspberry Pi 3 and 4.  I'm supposed to start by building the GENERIC-MMCCAM kernel.  A CAM device will then appear which I can then use camcontrol to talk to.  I built the kernel and booted it on my Pi 3B+, which has a  Broadcom 43455/6 according to Linux.   All camcontrol finds is the mini SD card. I see only one call to sdhci_init_slot in bcm2835_sdhost.c so maybe that's the problem.  It supports exactly one SDIO device, a memory card.

Any thoughts?  Is it worth thinking about the wireless chip or is it just too much work?
