brcmfmac: Disable power management
Disable wireless power saving in the brcmfmac WLAN driver. This is a
temporary measure until the connectivity loss resulting from power
saving is resolved.

brcmfmac: Use original country code as a fallback
Commit 73345fd212:
brcmfmac: Configure country code using device specific settings
prevents region codes from working on devices that lack a region code
translation table. In the event of an absent table, preserve the old
behaviour of using the provided code as-is.

brcmfmac: do not use internal roaming engine by default
Some evidence of curing disconnects with this disabled, so make it a default.
Can be overridden with module parameter roamoff=0

Revert "brcmfmac: Disable power management"
Shortly after the release of the Pi 3B, a loss of SSH connectivity
over WiFi was traced to the power management handling, so power
management was disabled. And so it has remained ever since.
Enabling power management saves 55mA (~270mW) on a Pi 4B, so is very
much worth the minimal effort of reverting this patch, which was
squashed and rebased many times since then to the commit hash is
meaningless.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
