Please tell what I can provide or test, Thanks.
Is this a regression? If so, please bisect.
It is something specific to his system as I don't see anything like
this. In addition, there are some users on the openSUSE forums that
have implemented the latest compat-wireless and switched away from
Broadcom wl to b43 on their LP PHY devices. So far, no complaints from
them.
Please reboot so that we see the ssb output as well. Use the command
dmesg | egrep "ssb|b43"
That way we will be able to see exactly what kind of device you have
and what revisions are in it. AFAIK, the testing to date has been
limited to Rev 1 PHYs and Rev 2 radios.

I can confirm the same issue. I have a HP Mini 1116NR with a Broadcom 4312.
Looks to be a PHY 1, Radio 2:

I've attached the output of 'dmesg | egrep "ssb|b43"', my kernel config, and
lspci -vv and lspci -nn
Note: With the dmesg output, I had unloaded the b43 module previous
'modprobe -r b43' and then loaded it again with debug output: 'modprobe b43
verbose=3'

Again, please test with v478 or v5xx firmware.
I've tried with the v478 firmware (was using 410.2160 earlier). I do
not see the 'Fatal DMA error' messages anymore.
On another note, however, I can't connect to a network. The device
seems to alternate between being idle, and scanning for APs.

I've attached the relevant portion of my dmesg output for your review.
Where would I got about finding the v5xx firmware?
