with 4.19.46 dtoverlay=pi3-disable-wifi stopped working #1145

with upgrade to 4.19.46 I seem not to be able to disable internal wifi card on RPi 3 B+.

Until now dtoverlay=pi3-disable-wifi in /boot/config.txt did the job. With 4.19.46 wifi is on again despite unchanged /boot/config.txt

as I can tell there is no change in Device Tree overlays for wifi (but I can see that overlays were tinkered for other things)

Same here. rpi-update to 4.19.46-v7+ #1230 SMP Tue May 28 16:18:48 BST 2019 armv7l GNU/Linux, reboot and do lsmod. brcmfmac, brcmutil, cfg80211 and rfkill modules are now loaded despite dtoverlay=pi3-disable-wifi being in config.txt

Yes, I can see how that got broken with the recent DTS/overlay refactor. A fix is on the way.

Latest rpi-update should have the fix.
