mac80211: backport brcmfmac changes from 2016-09-27
This fixes bug that could cause WARNING on every add_key/del_key call.
It also replaces WARNING with a simple message. They may still occur
e.g. on station going out of range and A-MPDU stall in the firmware.

+Subject: [PATCH] brcmfmac: replace WARNING on timeout with a simple error
+ message
+MIME-Version: 1.0
+Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
+Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
+
+Even with timeout increased to 950 ms we get WARNINGs from time to time.
+It mostly happens on A-MPDU stalls (e.g. when station goes out of
+range). It may take up to 5-10 secods for the firmware to recover and
+for that time it doesn't process packets.
+
+It's still useful to have a message on time out as it may indicate some
+firmware problem and incorrect key update. Raising a WARNING however
+wasn't really that necessary, it doesn't point to any driver bug anymore
+and backtrace wasn't much useful.

+Subject: [PATCH] brcmfmac: use correct skb freeing helper when deleting
+ flowring
+MIME-Version: 1.0
+Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
+Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
+
+Flowrings contain skbs waiting for transmission that were passed to us
+by netif. It means we checked every one of them looking for 802.1x
+Ethernet type. When deleting flowring we have to use freeing function
+that will check for 802.1x type as well.
+
+Freeing skbs without a proper check was leading to counter not being
+properly decreased. This was triggering a WARNING every time
+brcmf_netdev_wait_pend8021x was called.
