There must be > some redundancy there if nothing else. Not really; TI's 127x/128x devices are built of completely separate hardware cores, with completely separate and independent drivers. You can use one, a subset, or all of the cores (/drivers) together on the same time. The mainline wl12xx driver you refer to is a mac80211 SDIO/SPI WLAN driver that has nothing to do with Manjunatha's FM driver.
