Adding a cleaner version of the patch.

issues remaining:
- Current testing is ongoing on the "no traffic" issue, but it seems fairly stable.
- The "wl" module should be unloaded before suspend and loaded on resume. Makes it less prone to experience the "no traffic" bug. Do not know how or by who that should be handled.. ( with consideration for systemd and the old /etc/pm way of doing things on suspend/resume. )

Title:
  bcmwl-kernel-source fixes [Patch]

Status in bcmwl package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  
  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.
