brcmfmac4356-pcie 4.13 regression (frequent kernel panics) not fixed by recent 4.13 regression fix

Hi,

I've been seeing frequent kernel panics on wifi activity
(scp-ing a lot of files) with 4.13 on 2 different systems
which both use a brcmfmac4356-pcie wifi chip.

This is with this fix:
https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-wireless/msg164178.html
already applied.

Here is a picture of the panic:

Reverting commit 270a6c1f65fe ("brcmfmac: rework headroom check in .start_xmit()"):
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit?id=270a6c1f65fe68a28a5d39cd405592c550b496c7

seems to fix this (I can no longer quickly reproduce the panic
by scp-ing a large amount of files).

Note I've first reverted the:
https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-wireless/msg164178.html
fix so that I could cleanly revert commit 270a6c1f65fe.

Given that no code seems to use the statics commit 270a6c1f65fe
offers and it has been the cause of 2 different regressions now,
it might be best to just revert 270a6c1f65fe for 4.13.

Regards,

Hans
