SRU request:

[Impact]

 * As a result of this bug, bcmwl-kernel-source will fail to build the module against linux-generic-lts-utopic in Ubuntu 14.04.

[Test Case]

 * Enable the precise-proposed repository and install bcmwl-kernel-source (6.30.223.248+bdcom-0ubuntu0.1).

 * Install linux-generic-lts-utopic

 * If the package installs without errors from DKMS with both the linux-generic and linux-generic-lts-utopic kernels, then the patches work correctly.

[Regression Potential]

 * The patches that I backported from 15.04 will preserve the current driver behaviour on linux-generic (3.13) and linux-generic-lts-utopic (3.16), thanks to the use of specific macros in the code which check the kernel version. As a result, no regressions of any kind can be expected on these kernels. As a plus, support for kernels up to 3.18 is also included.
