It is still an enigma although admittedly I did not put much time in it
this week. The change below fixes it as the device goes haywire from
this command. At least this was reported by Stefan Wahren ("brcmfmac:
BCM43431 won't get probed on Raspberry Pi Zero W") on linux-wireless
mailing list. Still I can not explain it. Could be that there is not
enough free memory on the device.
