Hi Michael,

That makes no sense. Or are you saying the function 
brcmf_fw_get_firmwares() fails for you? Oh wait, you mentioned the 
driver was built-in, right? The above change does not solve the issue. 
It just makes it less likely to occur. So I think your initial fix is 
the best solution for this.

Regards,
Arend
