it eventually did boot after about 4 KP's but still no wi-fi    sound is working again though (have not tried HDMI yet but one step at a time.. need to resolve the Wi-Fi issue

[Jake Lo]

added a whitelist patch. not sure if it'll help

config-E7440_Sierra.plist.zip

[Sorcerer]

Well i solved the KP problem by relocating the 2 BRCM kexts to S/L/E from L/E and rebuilding the cache..  I am guessing they are looking for dependent kexts in the S/L/E folder (or same folder in which the BRCM kexts reside).
 
Still no wi-fi   system tells me the kexts have loaded so not sure. Applied your config.plist still no help.
 
Audio also seems intermittent.. every now and then after a reboot i have no audio, rebooting again often brings it back... its a little annoying but i remember having this issue with El Cap in the beginning too.. can't for the life of me remember what i did to resolve it.
 
Trackpad Preferences in settings brings up a blank page???

[Jake Lo]

ok, try this one, enabled AddDTGP and FixAirport, see source

Track preference should show if you're using dr. hurt's version 6 beta 6. Make sure version 6 beta 6, not version 6 RC6.

config-E7440_Sierra.plist.zip

[Sorcerer]

Unfortunately that still failed to activate wi-fi..
 
Track preferences are working (downloaded the build called Jake lo 2.zip).. not all gestures work but i am guessing that that is more or less to do with limitations of the trackpad hardware. 1 finger and 2 finger clicking is working. 2 finger scrolling is working but that is it..  edge scrolling does not work ( i found it annoying anyway so i am not overly concerned)
 
so only puzzle no to solve is wi-fi.

 

Further investigation shows that the AppleAirPort4360.kext was not loading.

So forced that to load under clover.config.

 

however FakePCIID_Broadcom_WIFI.kext is not loaded either (probably why AppleAirport4360.kext did not load.

 

Bluetooth is working.  But i get a greayed out Wi-Fi symble in task bar say no Wi-Fi hardware installed.

 

Looks like i am chasing something else.  Maybe a DSDT edit somewhere (but all was fine with El Cap 10.11.6 and that was using same DSDT.

 

and i can boot 10.11.6 from external drive with curent Clover config and Wi-Fi is working.  so a real mystery.. I am at a loss..

[Sorcerer]

FIXED WI-FI  YES!!!!

 

added the below code to Clover config.plist KextsToPatch and Wi-fi is working and it even connects to my 5G Access point so looks like i am back in business again Interestingly the FakePCIID_Broadcom_WIFI.kext is still not being loaded. but so long as Wi_Fi is working again all is good.

The latest version of FakePCIID.kext & FakePCIID_Broadcom_WiFi.kext don't need those patches anymore. Are you sure you're using the latest? v1.3.3 and newer
