Public bug reported:


The broadcom-wl driver have a few issues that have not been corrected in the ubuntu package.
Supplied with this bugreport is a monolithic patch that addresses some of those.

Summary/testing of patch:
- 2 days of local testing with associate/disassociate/scan between 2 access-points. (same model and running same openwrt version, so might not be a good test).
- Suspend/resume seems to work (no extensive testing there yet).
- Testing been done on a MBP 11,3 with a BCM4360 card running Ubuntu 15.04 with kernel 4.1.3 (vanilla)
- Only 4.x changes are new, rest have been in use by several projects (ubuntu/gentoo/archlinux etc) for some time.


Feel free to split it up into several patches.... This have been a locally maintained repo that have used several different sources and that's the reason for the monolithic patch.

One issue that is left is the:
        if (WARN_ON(!bss))
                return;
in net/wireless/sme.c but this does not seem to cause issues.

** Affects: bcmwl (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
