Updated the test case for 6.8 GA and oem-6.17 from noble-proposed and
the UBSAN warning in dmesg.

Furthermore, I've re-uploaded the package and updated d/changelog to
have just a single SRU bug reference to this very bug, marking the
others as duplicates. As can be seen in

Title:
  [SRU] Kernel 6.17 support in broadcom-sta

Status in broadcom-sta package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in broadcom-sta source package in Noble:
  In Progress
Status in broadcom-sta source package in Plucky:
  Invalid
Status in broadcom-sta source package in Questing:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [SRU Justification]

  [ Impact ]

  Failed to build against kernel v6.17-rc1.

  [ Test Plan ]

  0. Install oem-6.17 kernel from noble-proposed
  1. Install broadcom-sta-dkms from noble -proposed pocket
  2. The dkms should rebuild itself against the running kernel automatically; 
if not rebuild them manually with:

     $ sudo dkms install --force broadcom-sta/6.30.223.271 -k $(uname
  -r)

  3. Reboot to load the kernel module
  4. The wl module should be loaded automatically and wireless lan should be 
usable as before.
  5. There should not be any UBSAN warning in dmesg, e.g.:
  [ 28.822952] UBSAN: array-index-out-of-bounds in 
/var/lib/dkms/broadcom-wl/6.30.223.271/build/src/wl/sys/wl_linux.c:1938:4

  Additionally, execute the same test (step 0-5) against the 6.8 kernel
  in Noble, to confirm it did not regress on the GA kernel.

  [ Where problems could occur ]

  This doesn't affect the rest part of the system, and it doesn't
  introduce functional changes.

  [ Other Info ]

  This affects series with kernels >= 6.17. Nominate Questing and Noble
  for fixing.

  Kernel 6.17 will not be introduced in Plucky
