Both of the above are marked as stable-deps of this one:
- [PATCH 5.15 429/476] wifi: mwifiex: add extra delay for firmware ready Greg Kroah-Hartman
but they are not at all relevant, so I think patches 427 and 428 should be dropped. But patch 429 is OK for stable as long as 431 is included:
- [PATCH 5.15 431/476] wifi: mwifiex: fix uninitialized firmware_stat Greg Kroah-Hartman
Kind regards, Alvin

[ Upstream commit 255ca28a659d3cfb069f73c7644853ed93aecdb0 ]
Some WiFi/Bluetooth modules might have different host connection options, allowing to either use SDIO for both WiFi and Bluetooth, or SDIO for WiFi and UART for Bluetooth. It is possible to detect whether a module has SDIO-SDIO or SDIO-UART connection by reading its host strap register.
This change introduces a way to automatically select appropriate firmware depending of the connection method, and removes a need of symlinking or overwriting the original firmware file with a required one.
Host strap register used in this commit comes from the NXP driver [1] hosted at Code Aurora.
