[Test case]
Install bcmwl-kernel-source on a device with the proper broadcom device.
[Fix]
Apply the following patches:
https:/
https:/
[Regression potential]
Older kernels shouldn't be affected because the extra patches are affecting only kernels >= 5.17, and for 5.19+ these patches are supposed to add the proper support. However we may still notice regressions but only limited to the users of this bcmwl driver.
