That's really strange. The firmware was definitely needed before the update -
the BCM 43xx cards doesn't work without a firmware. We don't ship bcm43xx
firmware because of licensing issues. You (or somebody else) had to install the
firmware before, either using bcm43xx-fwcutter or by copying the files from
another system.
If the firmware files couldn't be found after the update, there has to be
something another involved. One thing I can think of is a change of firmware
files names but that didn't happen between the mentioned versions.
Overall, there's no change in bcm43xx and only irrelevant changes in ieee80211
between those versions. I also cannot find any change in the firmware loading
infrastructure at the kernel side.
Another possibility would be a change in the location of firmware files. That's
a responsibility of udev - did you update udev along with the kernel?
