Wifi, battery, and other NIC devices missing since kernel 6.1.8
Device: Pinebook Pro, late 2022 - early 2023
The last kernel that successfully detects the brcmfmac43455
wi-fi NIC is 6.1.7.
I've tried updating to the releases since the from 6.1.8 - 6.2, and the same issue happens. The device boots fine, but the wi-fi device is missing. Even plugging in external USB dongles for wi-fi and ethernet are not detected. Strangely, the battery device is also missing.
I'm not familiar enough with Linux subsystems to know where to look for the common factor that would cause these devices to go missing.
Also tried removing patches added since the 6.1.7 release, and the problem still exists.
Happy to help debug, and test fixes.
