The broadcom HAL we imported use as a base in this repository
doesn't work with the brcmfmac upstream driver in Linux: even
if nonfree firwmares are found on the device (for instance
because users added them manually), Replicant can scan the
networks but it can't connect to WPA2 networks even with the
right password, and when the connection fails we see some
errors with the statistics reporting (from adb logcat -b main):
    [...] D WifiNl80211Manager: Scan result ready event

    [...] E WifiVendorHal: getWifiLinkLayerStats_1_3_Internal(l.973)
          failed {.code = ERROR_UNKNOWN, .description = unknown error}

This might be because for some reasons the Broadcom HAL depends
on the bcmdhd kernel driver that we don't want to use because
it's an out of tree kernel driver and we want to use the upstream
kernel drivers instead.

So we need to modify this Broadcom Wi-Fi HAL not to depend on
