my patch based on a similar patch [1] by Mikhail Rudenko. I falsely
assumed that the Ampak AP6212 and Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W are using
different wifi chips. But now it i think they are identical. If i grep
the firmware blob for the Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W, i getting this:

# strings firmware.bin | grep 4343
43436b0-roml/sdio-g-pool-p2p-pno-pktfilter-keepalive-aoe-mchan-proptxstatus-ampduhostreorder-lpc-wl11u-fmc-wepso-anqpo-srmem-srfast-11nprop-ob-ndoe-rssiindur-bcol-gtr-mfp-sdiorxenhance-extsae
Version: 9.88.4.65 (test) (f149b32 at shgit)  (r679549) CRC: 3e0bc4b6 Date:
Fri 2020-10-09 14:45:07 CST Ucode Ver: 1043.20742 FWID: 01-f40f3270

So i will drop this patch from the series and hope the firmware isn't
customized.

Best regards
