If I try a v4 firmware, I get the following:

$ bcm43xx-fwcutter --identify bcmwl564.sys
*** WARNING ***
This file contains new version4
firmware. v4 firmware is _not_ supported by
the driver in mainline kernels. For v4 firmware
you need latest bcm43xx development version
(wireless-dev kernel tree). If you don't know what
this warning is about, use a 3.xx.xx.xx driver version
instead to extract the firmware.

.... and hence, avoided v4 firmware.
