The cur_etheraddr is the first piece of info we try to get from the
firmware. Could you build the driver with CONFIG_BRCMDBG and load
the module with 'debug=0x181416'.

dmesg attached.

So the firmware console output in the dmesg shows partial stack
trace which clearly means the firmware crashed.

I noticed you are not using a nvram file. Do you know if one was
orignally provided with the device?

I think it was not. The device was bought and setup in Fedora/RHEL
machine, which do not include any extra brcmfmac nvram file.

If the supplier of the device did not include such file it is probably not needed.

When using the old (working) firmware could you dump revinfo file in debugfs, ie.:

# cat /sys/kernel/debug/brcmfmac/0000:03:00.0/revinfo

Thanks,
Arend
