brcmfmac has some messages that are KERN_ERR even though they are harmless. This is spooking and confusing people, because they end up being the *only* kernel messages on their boot console with common error-only printk levels (at least on Apple Macs).
Then, when their system does not boot to a GUI for some other reason, the brcmfmac errors are the only thing on their TTY (which also does not show a login prompt on tty1 in typical systemd setups) and they are thoroughly confused into believing their problem has something to do with brcmfmac.
Seriously, I've had 10 or so people mention this by now, and multiple confused Reddit threads about it. Let's fix it.
