Research direction
Start by examining the brcmfmac BCM43456 support and the brcm/brcmfmac43456-sdio firmware path, comparing them with the BCM43455 support referenced in the report. Reproduce the capability checks with iw phy and wpa_cli get_capability key_mgmt; done would be WPA3-Personal SAE being reported and usable on Raspberry Pi 400.

Description
Describe the bug
WPA3-Personal SAE Wi-Fi standard doesn't seem to be supported by the firmware/driver of Raspberry Pi 400.
The 400 has BCM43456 module (brcm/brcmfmac43456-sdio firmware), compared to Pi 3B/4/5, which use SYM43455 (cypress/cyfmac43455-sdio firmware).
So far there were issues here and on forum, firmware and code updates from Infineon for 43455 only as far as I could see.
Raspberry Pi 400 on the latest official OS version does not report anything related to SAE in iw phy, as well as wpa_cli get_capability key_mgmt.
Connecting to WPA3-Personal Only networks on Raspberry Pi 400 does not work.
Steps to reproduce the behaviour
Try to connect to WPA3-Personal Only network using Rasberry Pi 400
