Hey Arend

Thanks for taking a look.

The brcmfmac-wcc module is present on my installation, but I=E2=80=99m not
currently loading it.
(I only load brcmutil, then brcmfmac.)

But, even if I load it, the wlan0 interface still doesn=E2=80=99t show up.

In the modules.dep, I see that brcmfmac-wcc should be loaded after
brcmutil and brcmfmac.
Is that accurate?

My installation is somewhat unusual in that I use a custom userland
(see https://gokrazy.org/).

Thanks
Best regards
Michael
