The Broadcom-based WiFi module was used on earlier revisions of the
VAR-SOM-MX8MM. That hardware revision is no longer in production and
is not available for new orders. All currently manufactured and shipped
VAR-SOM-MX8MM modules integrate the NXP IW61x instead.

Since the wireless module is soldered on the SOM and not selectable via
the carrier board, the device tree must reflect the hardware that is
actually present on the module. This series aligns mainline with the
current production revision of the SOM.

Customers using older hardware revisions still have access to the
corresponding device tree descriptions in earlier kernel versions.
Upstream support is being aligned with the actively produced hardware.

The same applies to the Ethernet PHY update included in this series,
which reflects the PHY used on the current (and future) SOM revision.

Best regards,
Stefano
