IANAL, but it would seem that the more documentation you release on your patented product the MORE you are protected, since it becomes less likely that they independently discovered your solution.

I think the issue is more one less of Broadcom wanting protection as much as having a chip foundry and selling chips, but not wishing to risk a legion of Non-Practicing Entities combing through their implementations with a fine tooth comb and a portfolio of held semiconductor IP.
