Better to respond inline and avoid top posting.

So the error messages indicate communication with the firmware on the wifi 
device is broken.

[ 20.068465] brcmfmac: brcmf_sdio_bus_rxctl: resumed on timeout
[ 20.069067] ieee80211 phy0: brcmf_cfg80211_get_channel: chanspec failed (-110)

But the firmware started ok because I see before the failures start to occur:

[ 16.137950] brcmfmac: brcmf_c_preinit_dcmds: Firmware: BCM4345/6 wl0: Apr 
15 2021 03:03:20 version 7.45.234 (4ca95bb CY) FWID 01-996384e2

Things seem to go south when Bluetooth is starting:

[ 17.273314] Bluetooth: hci0: BCM4345C0 (003.001.025) build 0382
[ 17.287981] Bluetooth: BNEP (Ethernet Emulation) ver 1.3
[ 17.288011] Bluetooth: BNEP filters: protocol multicast
[ 17.288032] Bluetooth: BNEP socket layer initialized
[ 17.319081] Bluetooth: MGMT ver 1.23
[ 20.068465] brcmfmac: brcmf_sdio_bus_rxctl: resumed on timeout

As Bluetooth resides on the same chip as wifi I find that suspicious. I 
would like to know what happens when you disable Bluetooth. Can you test that?
