We already include slab.h in:
host_pci.c
scan.c
sprom.c

Maybe we can just include this in bcma.h as a better solution?

It isn't better solution.
It results in situation where unnecessary inclusion will be done.
Maybe it's not the case now, but it will be in future.

I agree. kfree() is used in main.c, not in bcma.h. There is no need for all files that include bcma.h to include linux/slab.h, especially (but not only) because bcma.h is not a private header.
