[Bug 2141887] [NEW] broadcom-sta-dkms package source code fails to compile the kernel module for 6.17.0-14

[Davi]

Public bug reported:

The issue in 24.04.3’s broadcom-sta-dkms package is that the source code
fails to compile the kernel module for 6.17.0-14 and that, in turn,
causes the kernel package installation to fail, but not completely. It
apparently leaves the package in an unpacked, but unconfigured state.
Unfortunately, an init image was generated and grub was updated with an
entry pointing to the half-installed kernel which caused problems when
trying to boot it.
