When the host-interface bus has hard time handling transmit packets
it informs higher layer about this and it would stop the netdev
queue when needed. However, since commit 9cd18359d31e ("brcmfmac:
Make FWS queueing configurable.") this was broken. With this patch
the behaviour is restored.

Hi Kalle,
The issue fixed with this patch does not crash anything so it is
probably fine for 4.8 after the merge window. So I have marked it
for 4.7-stable.
Regards,
Arend
