Description of problem:
With the Linux 4.4 update, my laptop started using the bcma driver instead of broadcom-wl (yay!) for my BCM4352 device except that the new driver doesn't work (boo!). The bcma module doesn't load automatically, and when I manually do `modprobe bcma' I get in the dmesg:

[  480.954610] bcma-pci-bridge 0000:02:00.0: enabling device (0000 -> 0002)
[  480.954669] bcma: bus0: Found chip with id 0x4352, rev 0x03 and package 0x00
[  480.954693] bcma: bus0: Core 0 found: ChipCommon (manuf 0x4BF, id 0x800, rev 0x2B, class 0x0)

[  480.954772] bcma: bus0: Core 4 found: USB 2.0 Device (manuf 0x4BF, id 0x81A, rev 0x11, class 0x0)
[  481.011267] bcma: Unsupported SPROM revision: 11
[  481.011270] bcma: bus0: Invalid SPROM read from the PCIe card, trying to use fallback SPROM
[  481.011271] bcma: bus0: Using fallback SPROM failed (err -2)
[  481.011272] bcma: bus0: No SPROM available
[  481.013444] bcma: bus0: Bus registered

and no wireless (nothing shows up in ifconfig). Everything still works fine when I boot into 4.3.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 4.4


How reproducible: 100%


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot into 4.4 kernel

Actual results: no wireless support


Expected results: wireless support

Fedora 23 has now been rebased to 4.7.4-100.fc23.  Please test this kernel update (or newer) and let us know if you issue has been resolved or if it is still present with the newer kernel.
 
If you have moved on to Fedora 24 or 25, and are still experiencing this issue, please change the version to Fedora 24 or 25.
 
If you experience different issues, please open a new bug report for those.
