+Subject: [PATCH] brcmfmac: add missing eth_type_trans call
+MIME-Version: 1.0
+Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
+Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
+
+There are 2 protocols supported by brcmfmac and msgbuf one was missing a
+proper skb setup before passing it to the netif. This was triggering
+"NULL pointer dereference".
