Bug Description
Hello,
After upgrading to Ubuntu 18.04 I got an issue with the wifi chipset (Broadcom BCM4356) not initializing properly.
Here is the error I got when loading the driver brcmfmac:
```
[ 8189.092819] brcmfmac: brcmf_fw_

The problem seems to have been reported to the linux-wireless mailing list but no fix has been committed apparently : https:/
