[ Upstream commit 09795bded2e725443fe4a4803cae2079cdaf7b26 ]
bcm4331 seems to not function correctly with QoS support. This may be due
to issues with currently available firmware or potentially a device
specific issue.
When queues that are not of the default "best effort" priority are
selected, traffic appears to not transmit out of the hardware while no
errors are returned. This behavior is present among all the other priority
queues: video, voice, and background. While this can be worked around by
setting a kernel parameter, the default behavior is problematic for most
users and may be difficult to debug. This patch offers a working out-of-box
experience for bcm4331 users.
Log of the issue (using ssh low-priority traffic as an example):
