Can you pull from here? I don't see the patch in master so I assume it is still in some other branch:

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/archlinuxarm/PKGBUILDs/730522ae76aa57b89fa317c5084613d3d50cf3b8/core/linux-aarch64/0005-mmc-sdhci-iproc-handle-mmc_of_parse-errors-during-pr.patch

It was acked by a kernel maintainer so.

Could this be backported to linux_4_19 on stable (18.09)? I think I am seeing the same issue there - the wifi chip is not visible even though the brcmfmac module loads without issues.

This is a recent regression, 4.19.9 is OK, 4.19.13 is not.
