Please don't use the term "-kmod-common" in the package name; just call it "broadcom-hybrid-wl" and add

Thinking about it some more: Maybe the best scheme for both packages might be:

"kmod-wl" for the kmod package
"broadcom-hybrid-wl" for the second "userland" package (which then needs to provide wl-kmod-common = %{version}-%{release})

Opinions?

As an end user I find that slightly confusing to have so many different permutations. I would find it less confusing to do your original way and drop the "hybrid" altogether:

"kmod-wl" for the kmod package
"broadcom-wl" for the "userland" package

Sounds good.

which provides broadcom-wl-common = %{version}-%{release}

That nevertheless needs to provide "wl-kmod-common = %{version}-%{release}" to satisfy the dep that automatically (by the dark magic from kmodtool) gets added to each kmod package; but the user normally won't see that.
