The simple and recommended way to do this is to configure the build with 
the option --include-gpl-addons or to set INCLUDE_GPL_ADDONS to 1 in your 
build/jam/UserBuildConfig file. That's enough in this case, since the 
bcm570x is already listed in as a driver to be added to the installation 
(just conditionally, since it's GPL licensed). If it were not listed there 
yet, the recommended way would be to add it via your UserBuildConfig file.
