And that makes it a firmware-brcm80211 issue and now it all does make sense
as it now all does tie together :-)
So while upstream does define the link from what I earlier called 'weird' name
to brcmfmac43455-sdio.raspberrypi,4-model-b.txt, the Debian firmware-brcm80211
package does not define that link and is therefor missing.

It is actually a valid bug report, although the discussion got rather messy
and I've therefor dropped the whole list of other bug reports.
I'm not even sure which bug report is exactly about what, but my current
best guess is that this is the right bug for this issue.
(I was about to question why you'd reassigned it to src:linux)
