Last year I was able to enable WiFi on my RPi3. The problem at that moment was the unavailable firmware files. These files are now available in Tumbleweed, however I can't find how to load these files in order to have a wlan0 device. I found a script /usr/sbin/install-brcmfmac, but I can't find how and where this script is called. It puts a symbolic link is some folder, but what folder?
I think this *might* work for you. https://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-arm/2016-11/msg00018.html It won't, that link is about Leap.
I finally gave up on Tumbleweed as being too unstable (WiFi, USB booting, etc), and went to Leap 42.2 as my primary SUSE system. But the technique outlined in that link has proven useful in the past.
Wifi is not "unstable" in Tumbleweed, it was never available on RPi3. The necessary SDIO drivers just barely made it into 4.12-rcX, and Tumbleweed still has 4.11.
To me it looked like the new 4.12 driver was misnamed just "bcm2835", so it may require further changes to dracut configs. Or even better someone should send a patch to rename it upstream.
