BCM43134 support in 12-CURRENT?

I have no experience with recent FreeBSD on Raspberry Pi 3B or Odroid-c2 SoC
and I'm not aware of the recent development.

I/we plan to use a small nanoBSD project for a joint-purpose device with either
a Raspberry Pi 3B or/and Odroid-C2 as a host for several environmental sensors.
The system's network attachment will be hard wired, but it would be highly
appreciable to have an additional access point on such a device. The only
device/SoC I'm aware of having a built-in WiFi chip is the new Raspberry Pi3B,
its WiFi chip is supposed to be a Broadcom BCM43134. The chip is well
supported by Linux drivers, but I couldn't find any informations about
supported devices via FreeBSD's bwi/bwn drivers - they list several older
devices.

Since I plan to use 12-CURRENT due to the fact of an ongoing development and
project's development of my own, my question would focus on CURRENT and its
driver support. Is there support for this specific BCM chipset? To use this
chipset as AP, there must be a driver supporting this - as far as I know.

I would appreciate if you could CC me, I do not subscribe this list.

Thanks in advance and kind regards,

O. Hartmann
