As can be seen in patchwork the state is "Changes Requested". Above is
my initial response starting with "A bit more description would be nice"
in which I refer to the empty commit message. Here a suggestion based on
the revision info provided below and info found on [1]:

The Linksys AE1200 comes with different revisions of the bcm43235 all of
which use the same USB ID. This chipset can only be supported by
brcmfmac as of revision 3.

Arend
