This didn't add brcm/brcmfmac4366c-pcie.bin to WHENCE. I'm assuming
it's under the same license as the rest of the brcmfmac files? If so,
I can just amend the patch.

Hi Josh,
I was not sure this patch ever made it through. It did not appear on
linux-wireless list probably due to exceeding a size limit. So I resend
it as two patches on December 10th. However, I indeed forgot to update
the WHENCE file in that series as well. Indeed there is no license change.
Regards,
Arend

OK. Amended and pushed out.

Unfortunately I have only 1 device with 4366B1 (D-Link DIR-885L) and
it seems to have dummy NVRAM restored from the bootloader's copy:
1:ccode=ALL
0:regrev=0
0:ccode=ALL
1:regrev=0
1) Old fw 10.10.69.3309 (r610991) FWID 01-c47a91a4
2 GHz: very weak signal (about -79 dBm)
5 GHz: good signal & works stable
(this also matches vendor firmware behavior)
2) New fw 10.28.2 (r769115) FWID 01-801fb449
2 GHz: very weak signal (about -79 dBm)
5 GHz: good signal but huge packet loss
So the new firmware introduces 5 GHz regression for me, but I guess I
should not complain since my device seems to come with a missing NVRAM
regulatory info.
Is there any chance you know a correct ccode + regrev for D-Link
DIR-885L for any region?

Hi Rafał,
That is bad news. Is the packet loss in receive or transmit direction?
How do you obtain the info?
