Subject: Re: [regression] Bug 216894 - brcmfmac stopped working due to missing firmware; brcmf_pcie_init_ringbuffers: invalid max_flowrings(264)

Sending this once more as a reply to myself, as I forgot to CC the
maintainers for the driver. And now I'm also using the current email
address for Wright Feng (my earlier mail used the one used for the
culprit, but that bounced).

Sorry for the noise, seem I need more tea.
