Should allow `brmfmac` driver without `--no-virt`
While trying to run linux-router
on a Raspberry pi 5 with a stock Raspberry pi OS (x64) I received the following error:
> lnxrouter --ap wlan0 ssid -p passphrase
WARN: brmfmac driver doesn't work properly with virtual interfaces and
it can cause kernel panic. For this reason we disallow virtual
interfaces for your adapter.

Going through the issue its clear they tested a long while ago, so I wagered that the bug in the driver is probably fixed by now.
So I patched lnxrouter
to run even with brmfmac
and it seems to be running fine, with no relevant issues.
I don't have conclusive evidence that the issue has been fixed from the root, but I suggest it is worth investigating.
