Hi Diederik,

changes were made to the Kernel so now each of the files is requested
board-specifc first, in your case:
   brcm/brcmfmac43455-sdio.raspberrypi,3-model-b-plus.bin
   brcm/brcmfmac43455-sdio.raspberrypi,3-model-b-plus.txt
   brcm/brcmfmac43455-sdio.raspberrypi,3-model-b-plus.clm_blob
and if not existent, falling back to the regular ones:
   brcm/brcmfmac43455-sdio.bin (symbolic link to
cypress/cyfmac43455-sdio.bin)
   brcm/brcmfmac43455-sdio.txt (not existing -> different topic)
   brcm/brcmfmac43455-sdio.clm_blob (symbolic link to
cypress/cyfmac43455-sdio.clm_blob

currently only the board-specific .txt files (NVRAM settings) are available
in the bullseye / bullseye-backports packages, see:
https://packages.debian.org/bullseye/all/firmware-brcm80211/filelist

based on the popularity of the Raspberry Pi models, the missing symbolic
links might be added sooner or later.
for the time being you can add them manually:
   cd  /lib/firmware/brcm/
   sudo ln -s ../cypress/cyfmac43455-sdio.bin
brcmfmac43455-sdio.raspberrypi,3-model-b-plus.bin
   sudo ln -s ../cypress/cyfmac43455-sdio.clm_blob
brcmfmac43455-sdio.raspberrypi,3-model-b-plus.clm_blob
(both files, even if your Kernel 6.0.0-3 only requests per-board .bin files)

With the recent Kernel version firmware_request_nowarn() is used for the
board-specifc files, so those errors shouldn't be logged.
-> I will do some testing with fallback files to verify this.

In my case it's a bit more complicated involving a bug with space
characters in the debian-installer and a nonexistent clm_blob file for
brcmfmac43340, see #1030519
