Looks good to me. Just two small process related remarks:
- It is sufficient to prefix the patch with brcmfmac (skip net:...).
- Send the patch to the wireless maintainer, ie. John Linville.

Hi
Sure, no problem.
Sending a new patch in a moment...
Kind regards

I think you should return an error if the strings get truncated.
Silent truncation is going to lead to issues at some point in the future
(in some places).

If you are doing a strlen() here, you could use the length for the copy
and/or use it to avoid the strcat().

I assume something ensures that fw_name[0] == 0 here.

Hi David
What do you mean you would use the strlen, can you give some example
code instead?
Arend van Spriel wanted me to change the title before.
So this should really continue the conversation in that new mail. And
then you can also see my other comments.
And I have the same type of objection to the:
brcmf_firmware_path[0] == '\0'
Se:
