If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From a5a36720c3f650f859f5e9535dd62d06f13f4f3b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Ivan T. Ivanov" <iivanov@xxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 6 Jan 2023 15:19:05 +0200 Subject: brcmfmac: Prefer DT board type over DMI board type From: Ivan T. Ivanov <iivanov@xxxxxxx> commit a5a36720c3f650f859f5e9535dd62d06f13f4f3b upstream. The introduction of support for Apple board types inadvertently changed the precedence order, causing hybrid SMBIOS+DT platforms to look up the firmware using the DMI information instead of the device tree compatible to generate the board type. Revert back to the old behavior, as affected platforms use firmwares named after the DT compatible.
