Unfortunately it had HTML and not sure if it made it to the list, so
copying your response in full below just in case. Russell, does the
commit below fix your problem?

861cb5eb467f brcmfmac: Fix access point mode

 From a quick test this evening, it does seem to allow brcmfmac to work
with hostapd again, which is good news.

However, I've been seeing other issues with the brcmfmac over the course
of the last week, which needs the brcmfmac module to be removed and
re-loaded to rescue the situation - ultimately, it means that running
brcmfmac in host AP mode is unreliable.  This is with 4.19 and my
patch - we will see how 4.20 with the above mentioned patch behaves over
the coming week.

Is this with hostapd? If so, this br0 message suggest you let hostapd create a bridge, is that correct? Just trying to get a good picture in case I want to replicate things over here although I am pretty sure I do not have the same platform lying around here. Although, what platform do you have?

The timeout (-110) error can mean either firmware crashed or the sdio host controller went in limbo. If this happens again on 4.20 (or 5.0-rc1), you could build the driver with CONFIG_BRCMDBG and load the driver with debug=0x100010. If it is a firmware crash it should show up in the log.

Arend
