A number of end-users reported issues with BCM43602 on the 2015
MacBook Pro. It turned out the previously released firmware did
not properly support that device [1]. Hence an update of the STA
firmware and while at it refresh the AP firmware as well. The
latter has been tested using Netgear R8000. The STA firmware has
been tested on MacBook Pro.
Are there version numbers we could update in WHENCE to make this
easier to track?
For brcmfmac firmware we don't have version numbers in WHENCE. To be
honest it feels a bit redundant as the firmware file itself contains the
version number, ie. by doing 'hexdump -C /firmware/ | tail -30'.

This patch fixes a couple of issues mentioned in kernel bugzilla
