Package: broadcom-sta-dkms
Version: 6.30.223.271-25.1
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
I encountered an issue during an `apt upgrade` on Debian where the
`broadcom-sta-dkms` package fails to build for the kernel
`6.12.12+bpo-amd64`, preventing the kernel and related packages from
configuring properly.
### What led up to the situation?
I ran `sudo apt update` followed by `sudo apt upgrade` to update my
system, which included upgrading to kernel `6.12.12+bpo-amd64` from
backports. During the process, the DKMS build for `broadcom-sta` failed,
causing the upgrade to halt with unconfigured packages.
### What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
- I attempted to fix the issue with `sudo dpkg --configure -a` and `sudo
apt --fix-broken install`, but the DKMS build error persisted.
- I inspected the DKMS log file at
`/var/lib/dkms/broadcom-sta/6.30.223.271/build/make.log` to identify the
cause.
### What was the outcome of this action?
The upgrade process failed with the following errors:
Setting up linux-image-6.12.12+bpo-amd64 (6.12.12-1~bpo12+1) ...
/etc/kernel/postinst.d/dkms:
Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 6.12.12+bpo-amd64
(x86_64)
Consult /var/lib/dkms/broadcom-sta/6.30.223.271/build/make.log for more
information.

(--configure):

subprocess returned error exit status 1
The DKMS log shows a compilation error:
/var/lib/dkms/broadcom-sta/6.30.223.271/build/src/wl/sys/wl_linux.c:59:10:
fatal error: asm/unaligned.h: No such file or directory

compilation terminated.

/var/lib/dkms/broadcom-sta/6.30.223.271/build/src/wl/sys/wl_linux.o]
Error 1
### What outcome did you expect instead?
I expected the `broadcom-sta-dkms` module to build successfully for
kernel `6.12.12+bpo-amd64`, allowing the kernel and dependent packages
(`linux-image-amd64`, `linux-headers-6.12.12+bpo-amd64`, etc.) to
configure and complete the upgrade without errors.
### Additional Information
- The issue appears to stem from the `broadcom-sta` driver expecting
`<asm/unaligned.h>`, which is no longer available in newer kernels
(replaced by `<linux/unaligned.h>`).
- This is likely a compatibility issue with kernel 6.12.12, as the
driver source has not been updated to reflect changes in kernel header
files.

### Suggested Fix
The driver source file `src/wl/sys/wl_linux.c` should be updated to use
`#include <linux/unaligned.h>` instead of `<asm/unaligned.h>` to align
with modern kernel headers.
Thank you for your attention to this issue! Kind regards,
bobbillybrown
