Sure. But there are more rev numbers in your logfiles. And there has to
be the revision of your wlan core 0x812, too. Look for a line like
bcm43xx: Core 1: ID 0x812, rev 0x4, vendor 0x4243, disabled
^^^^^^^
Which microcode will be loaded depends only on that revision number.

Yeah, the patch seems to work like expected. That's good.
