I wrote this patch in early January before Arend van Spriel changed the
code with the patch below. I wasn't aware of his change, but that explains
why you don't see the problem any more.

    brcmfmac: fix BRCMF_FW_NVRAM_DEF macro for older gcc compilers
    
    With gcc < 4.3 __UNIQUE_ID does not create unique ids with the macro
    BRCMF_FW_NVRAM_DEF. Fix this by removing the MODULE_FIRMWARE instance
    for the nvram file. This file is not in linux-firmware repo so it may
    not be needed anyway. Otherwise consider this as a temporary fix.
