Motivation for this change
Facetimehd driver wouldn't load correctly when running the latest stable kernel as per patjak/facetimehd#143
If
boot.kernelPackages = pkgs.linuxPackages_latest;
is set I'd get this dmesg output:on a Macbook Pro 12,1
Things done
Bumped the https://github.com/patjak/bcwc_pcie driver to latest commit in said repo.
This enabled my facetime webcam to function again.
