I have backported the august 42016 release (6.30.223.248+bdcom-0ubuntu9)
to Trusty, and that source builds and works fine with the 4.7.2 stock
kernel.

It also builds fine with 4.8.15 stock kernel. However, I get an oops
when wl.ko is loaded, not in the bcmwl driver itself but in the cfg80211
driver, a null ptr dereference as far as I can see.

Does the fix discussed here address that issue too, or is that related
to something else?

I see that wl.ko is being loaded on another laptop with an Intel
wireless board, and there I'm not seeing any kernel oopses. Neither in
cfg80211 which is also used by the iwl drivers.
