From: Raveendran Somu <raveendran.somu@xxxxxxxxxxx> When the brcmf_fws_process_skb() fails to get hanger slot for queuing the skb, it tries to free the skb. But the caller brcmf_netdev_start_xmit() of that funciton frees the packet on error return value. This causes the double freeing and which caused the kernel crash.
