Severity: wishlist

Thanks for the linux/4.13.4-1 upload!

On the Raspberry Pi 3, the Broadcom BRCM43430 chip is connected via
SDIO. Hence, the brcmfmac driver’s config option CONFIG_BRCMFMAC_SDIO=y
needs to be set, otherwise the driver won’t find the chip.

I verified this works by recompiling the Debian kernel with
CONFIG_BRCMFMAC_SDIO=y added to debian/config/arm64/config, and indeed
the wlan0 interface newly shows up after rebooting into my kernel.

Please include CONFIG_BRCMFMAC_SDIO=y in the next upload for arm64.

Thank you!

Having the default Debian kernel work out of the box with the WIFI card on
RPi 3 would help me a lot.  Is there anything technical blocking this
from happening?
