New development: I now think it *is* an issue in firmware-brcm80211.
I think it would still be good if the kernel would also check the `cypress` 
directory, but this seems to be a packaging issue.

Via https://snapshot.debian.org/binary/firmware-brcm80211/ you can find
various old versions of the package, and I want you to do the following test:

1) First remove the symlink you created above.
2) Get the .deb for version 20230117-2 and install that
3) Reboot and verify that your wifi works as it should
4) If so, upgrade to the 20230210-1 version and reboot
5) verify that wifi is now broken

Let me/us know how that test goes.
