Thanks for that. The firmware indeed seems to originate from Synaptics 
and this module can be found on wifi-alliance product finder:

https://www.wi-fi.org/product-finder-results?sort_by=certified&sort_order=desc&keywords=ap6275

We have no known contacts there and they do not seem to have much 
interest in open-source. In that gitlab repo I see they are providing 
bcmdhd driver and I assume they consider that sufficient.

Will see what I can do. First have to think on how to approach this 
failure to get most out of a debug effort. I do not have the module over 
here so we would need to go back and forth. The fact that the issue is 
seen on both SDIO and PCIe is somewhat encouraging.

Arend
