Hi,

I've just found a well reproducible brcmfmac crash (NULL pointer dereference).

Steps:
1. Wait for or trigger a FullMAC firmware crash
2. Wait for some skb to get queued on a flowring
3. Call rmmod brcmfmac

Problem:
There is a NULL pointer dereference in one of the brcmf_detach() calls.

Explanation:
brcmf_detach() first frees all "ifp"s and then deletes flowrings. If any
flowring has a skb it results in calling brcmf_txfinalize() which tries
to access "ifp" (struct brcmf_if) which is a NULL.

Hi Rafał,

Thanks for diving in. That was my suspicion. Does it mean you are working on a patch or shall I take care of it.

Regards,
Arend
