Bug Description

[Impact]

Currently the DKMS package broadcom-sta fails to install in supported custom
kernels that are based on 4.11 or 4.13. That includes the current 4.11 hwe-edge
and the upcoming 4.13 hwe-edge kernels and some of the custom and cloud kernels
as well.

[Test Case]

Install the broadcom-sta package with the 4.13 hwe-edge kernel from -proposed.
The package installation should proceed without any errors.

[Regression Potential]

Although new patches were added, the regression risk is very low since the new
changes are conditionally compiled based on the kernel version.

Besides that the new package was tested with the following kernels in an amd64
environment:

- linux-generic 4.4
- linux-hwe 4.10
- linux-hwe-edge 4.11
- linux-hwe-edge 4.13 (from xenial-proposed)
- linux-azure 4.11
- linux-azure-edge 4.13 (which is in process of getting promoted to
xenial-proposed)

[Original Description]
