That looks correct, could you add the relevant Fixes tag for this?

Fixes: 3bdae810721b ("brcmfmac: Fix glob_skb leak in
brcmf_sdiod_recv_chain")
Fixes: a413e39a38573 ("brcmfmac: fix brcmf_sdcard_recv_chain() for host
without sg support")

BTW, you made the same typo that I did, it's actually glom_skb ;)
