Rafał Miłecki b26214adb5 mac80211: backport brcmfmac fixes & debugging helpers from 4.18
The most important is probably regression fix in handling platform
NVRAM. That bug stopped hardware from being properly calibrated breaking
e.g. 5 GHz for Netgear R8000.

Other than that it triggers memory dumps when experiencing firmware
problems which is important for debugging purposes.

Subject: [PATCH] brcmfmac: validate user provided data for memdump before
copying
In patch "brcmfmac: add support for sysfs initiated coredump", a new
scenario of brcmf_debug_create_memdump was added in which the user of
the function might not necessarily provide prefix data. Hence the
function should not assume the data is always valid and should perform a
check before copying.
