Fix misc bugs that caused the kernel to sometimes crash on RPI, also split it up into logical commits.

The goal of the patches, is to make the old broadcom chip behave as normal drivers, allowing to remove the virtual wlan interface, that is created on top of the radio.
This fix #1619

This really should be included in 26.08.2 @jovatn, since RPI is broken in 26.08.
