2023-04-05nongnu: broadcom-sta: Use Nixpkgs patch list.•••Piggy-back off of the patch list in Nixpkgs instead of maintaining our own. This should make it easier to keep up to date so there's no need to advise users to stick with Linux LTS releases any longer. Though our existing patch list and Nixpkgs' differ the cumulative effect is exactly the same except for two patches we have that Nix doesn't, neither of which seem critical: - broadcom-sta-debian-fix-kernel-warnings.patch - broadcom-sta-fix_mac_profile_discrepancy.patch Closes #246 * nongnu/packages/linux.scm (broadcom-sta): Replace patches with code to fetch them from Nixpkgs. [arguments]: Replace `linux-lts` with `linux`.
