broadcom-sta/6.30.223.271-12 ADT test failure with linux-hwe-5.11/5.11.0-20.21~20.04.1

[Kleber Sacilotto de Souza]

[Impact]

This is a scripted bug report about ADT failures while running broadcom-sta tests for linux-hwe-5.11/5.11.0-20.21~20.04.1 on focal. Whether this is caused by the dep8 tests of the tested source or the kernel has yet to be determined.

Testing failed on:
    amd64: https://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/results/autopkgtest-focal/focal/amd64/b/broadcom-sta/20210611_210407_0acfd@/log.gz

[Test Plan]

sudo apt-get install broadcom-sta-dkms

[Where problems could occur]

Run time regressions could occur due to compatibility changes required for linux-hwe-5.11

[Other Info]

Please migrate this package update to -security as well in order not to break users when the default hwe kernel in Focal upgrades to 5.11.
