Rafał Miłecki 1909a42ad4 mac80211: backport some brcmfmac patches
There are two important patches in this patchset: updating read pointer
quicker & rework of .get_station().
There are few more upstream patches that are p2p-related and weren't
backported in this commit.

Subject: [PATCH] brcmfmac: Update msgbuf read pointer quicker.
On device to host data using msgbuf the read pointer gets updated
once all data is processed. Updating this pointer more frequently
allows the firmware to add more data quicker. This will result in
slightly higher and more stable throughput on CPU bounded host
processors.
