[Test Case] $ ls -la /lib/firmware/brcm/brcmfmac43455* [Fix] The upstream fix is: commit a9993f8d3b241f70a691a5b81bf2cdb442c0e184 Author: Takashi Iwai <ti...@suse.de> Date: Tue Sep 8 12:16:56 2020 +0200 brcm: Fix a stale symlink for RPi3 model b+ The symlink for brcmfmac43455-sdio.raspberrypi,3-model-b-plus.txt was wrongly listed with the same subdirectory brcm, and this resulted in a stale symlink. Fix it. Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai <ti...@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Josh Boyer <jwbo...@kernel.org> [Where Problems Could Occur] Firmware is now loaded on Pi 3A+ at boot which didn't happen before so theoretically that could crash the kernel if it's buggy.
