+Subject: [PATCH] brcmfmac: don't net_ratelimit() CONSOLE messages on firmware
+ crash
+MIME-Version: 1.0
+Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
+Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
+
+Firmware crash is a pretty rare event and can't happen too frequently as
+it has to be followed by a hardware reinitialization and config reload.
+It should be safe to don't use net_ratelimit() when it happens.
+
+For reporting & debugging purposes it's important to provide a complete
+log as the last lines are actually the most important. This change
+modifies brcmfmac to print all messages in an unlimited way in that
+specific case. With this change there should be finally a backtrace of
+firmware finally visible after a crash.
