    • macOS
    • other Linux distributions
  • Tested via one or more NixOS test(s) if existing and applicable for the change (look inside nixos/tests)
  • Tested compilation of all pkgs that depend on this change using nix-shell -p nixpkgs-review --run "nixpkgs-review wip"

Patch to fix the build error for the 5.9 Linux kernel.
Switch the current patch for 5.9 to Joan Bruguera's version which is cleaner and also works for 5.10

@teto pinging you since you were the last one to submit a patch for broadcom-sta. Hopefully you still have a machine to test it.

upstream is dead for this broadcom stuff which explains why we have so many issues :(
My machine with the broadcom died so can't test but the patch looks ok. See https://gist.github.com/joanbm/9e20b3842bb336379eccc12410901e37 for some context.
