Bug#1113676: broadcom-sta-dkms: building for linux-image-6.16.3+deb14-amd64 fails
Package: broadcom-sta-dkms

Did anyone try ubuntu's patch for 6.16? I made a vm of ubuntu (server) 25.10
from its daily iso and broadcom-sta-dkms builds with no issues on 6.16. Log
after successful build

Before that, I had applied the patch on debian too, like so
$ wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/restricted/b/broadcom-
sta/broadcom-sta_6.30.223.271-27ubuntu1.debian.tar.xz
$ tar -xf broadcom-sta_6.30.223.271-27ubuntu1.debian.tar.xz
# cp debian/patches/41-wl-use-timer_container_of-for-kernel-6.16.patch
/usr/src/broadcom-sta-6.30.223.271/src/wl/sys/
# cd /usr/src/broadcom-sta-6.30.223.271/src/wl/sys/
# patch wl_linux.c 41-wl-use-timer_container_of-for-kernel-6.16.patch
# dkms install --force broadcom-sta/6.30.223.271 -k $(uname -r)
But it failed like this
https://pastebin.com/3mMk9cpw
Which is identical to what happened a few days ago that I manually replaced
"from_timer" to "timer_container_of".

Last but not least, there is some new info/workaround about objtool in
#1106546. Maybe someone who knows more should have a look.
