[Pkg-raspi-maintainers] Build RPi3 wifi driver out of tree?

[Michael Stapelberg]

I don’t know for sure, but given that the driver is a loadable kernel
module, you can at least build that somewhere and then copy the
resulting module to your Raspberry Pi.

I’m a bit surprised by the question, though, as the most convenient
way in my opinion is to just have the Debian kernel packages include a
working version of the driver, which https://bugs.debian.org/877911
tracks.
