I've worked out a partial revert (see below) that allows my system to
boot, but I'd rather see a proper fix from the maintainer of this code.

Thanks,

Subject: [PATCH] brcmfmac: Partial revert of module parameter rework

Commit 7d34b0560567 ("brcmfmac: Move all module parameters to one
place") reworked the brcmfmac driver parameters and moved them to
a dynamically allocated structure.

It turns out that at least one parameter (sdiod_txglomsz) is required
before this structure is allocated, leading to a crash.

This patch reverts the handling of that parameter until the maintainer
of this driver can sort it out for good.
