A regression was introduced in commit 9c349892ccc9 ("brcmfmac: revise handling events in receive path") which moves eth_type_trans() call to brcmf_rx_frame(). Msgbuf layer doesn't use brcmf_rx_frame() but invokes brcmf_netif_rx() directly. In such case the Ethernet header was not stripped out resulting in null pointer dereference in the networking stack.
