+Subject: [PATCH] brcmfmac: Update msgbuf read pointer quicker.
+
+On device to host data using msgbuf the read pointer gets updated
+once all data is processed. Updating this pointer more frequently
+allows the firmware to add more data quicker. This will result in
+slightly higher and more stable throughput on CPU bounded host
+processors.
