Hi Linus,

I am interested (being paid for it kinda helps). The warning itself does
not necessarily have to be a problem, but the frameid mismatch between
tx status info and the related buffer taken from the DMA ring does.
Smells like a race condition, but I need to investigate that.

We had a big contribution from Canonical (cc-ed Seth) in brcmsmac
itself. Not playing the blame game, but I suspect it has altered
circumstances making the real issue (that was already there) more likely
to happen. Hope that helps us nailing it down.
