/usr/src/linux-5.17 is contains vanilla 5.17.0 sources. While rebuilding external modules, broadcom-sta-6.30.223.271-r6 fails to compile:

Comment 4 ShadowOne333 2022-04-04 15:44:35 UTC
I can confirm this issue in a newly compiled 5.17.0 kernel.
The problem comes from the change to PDE_DATA() to now being pde_data().
Making this change inside wl_linux.c makes it compile and finish the emerge.

I made a custom overlay on my end to address the change, I labelled it as bradcom-sta-*-r7, with a new custom patch file I made manually.

They can be checked in the attached files.

Comment 6 tka 2022-04-17 11:28:40 UTC
I found a patch that is backward compatible and also addresses another issue with linux-5.17: https://gist.github.com/joanbm/37fd0590f30b41e7e89ade6e242ca16e

And linux-5.18 seems to require changes again: https://gist.github.com/joanbm/052d8e951ba63d5eb5b6960bfe4e031a
Comment 7 tka 2022-04-17 11:42:25 UTC
Patch doesn't apply on top of the gentoo patches. Needs some work...

broadcom-sta-6.30.223.271-r6-linux-5.17.patch

This is an extended and backward-compatible by Joan Bruguera. I adapted it to apply on top of the gentoo patches. The changes are the same as in the original patch, just the context needed to be a bit different.

Fixes compilation error with kernel >=5.18

Kernel 5.18 and above have another compilation error with broadcom-sta, this patch addresses that issue.

broadcom-sta-6.30.223.271-r6-linux-6.0.patch

Kernel 6.0 and above have yet again another compilation issue with broadcom-sta, which this patch fixes.
Comment 11 ShadowOne333 2023-01-09 21:07:16 UTC
Another buildfix, this time for kernels 6.1 and above. The patch can be found here:
