An issue was found brcmfmac driver in which a skbuff in .start_xmit()

check and expand the headroom appropriately.

Steve, would you have time to run a quick test with this?

Patch set to Deferred.

Just a hint. I tested the equivalent patch in brcmfmac by doing a skb_clone() just before the headroom if-statement (and a kfree_skb() afterwards obviously ;-) ).

Arend
