mac80211: backport brcmfmac fixes & debugging helpers from 4.18
The most important is probably regression fix in handling platform NVRAM. That bug stopped hardware from being properly calibrated breaking e.g. 5 GHz for Netgear R8000. Other than that it triggers memory dumps when experiencing firmware problems which is important for debugging purposes.

+Subject: [PATCH] brcmfmac: stop watchdog before detach and free everything
+
+Using built-in in kernel image without a firmware in filesystem
+or in the kernel image can lead to a kernel NULL pointer deference.
+Watchdog need to be stopped in brcmf_sdio_remove
+
+The system is going down NOW!
