Hello,
First time contacting a kernel mailing list.
I've been trying to fix the wireless on my laptop ( MacBookPro12,1 ). It has very weak signal strength. I have at least partially read through the following:

What I think may need to happen is to have a particular configuration added like https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/plain/brcm/brcmfmac43430-sdio.raspberrypi,3-model-b.txt as `brcmfmac43602-pcie.txt` in order to make the full range of channels available, and by that improve signal strength, but this is only a shot in the dark.
