Hi,
apparently the driver has gained actual support for LP-PHY based devices
since, so not reopening bug.

I disagree. It is not a "user error" if a kernel module is loaded for a
piece of hardware because it declares support for the har

The bug is declaring support for an unsupported device.

I just tried, and no, the "wl" module is not autoloaded even after
rerunning depmod -a explicitl

The whole bcm43xx chips are SSB, not PCI-devices. What you
