brcmf_msgbuf_ioctl_resp_wake() seems to be missing a memory barrier
which might cause the waker to not notice the waiter and miss sending a
wake_up as in the following figure.
brcmf_msgbuf_ioctl_resp_wake brcmf_msgbuf_ioctl_resp_wait
------------------------------------------------------------------------
if (waitqueue_active(&msgbuf->ioctl_resp_wait))
/* The CPU might reorder the test for
the waitqueue up here, before
prior writes complete */
/* wait_event_timeout */
/* __wait_event_timeout */
/* ___wait_event */
prepare_to_wait_event(&wq, &__wait,
state);
if (msgbuf->ctl_completed)
...
msgbuf->ctl_completed = true;
schedule_timeout(__ret))
------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are three other place in drivers/net/wireless/brcm80211/brcmfmac/
which have similar code. The attached patch removes the call to
waitqueue_active() leaving just wake_up() behind. This fixes the
problem because the call to spin_lock_irqsave() in wake_up() will be an
ACQUIRE operation.
I found this issue when I was looking through the linux source code
for places calling waitqueue_active() before wake_up*(), but without
preceding memory barriers, after sending a patch to fix a similar
issue in drivers/tty/n_tty.c (Details about the original issue can be
found here: https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/9/28/849).

All bus drivers (sdio, usb and pcie) require firmware files which
needs to be downloaded to the device, The definitions and mapping
of device id and revision to firmware and nvram file is done by
each bus driver. This patch creates common functions and defines
to simplify and unify the definition of these firmware and nvram
files and mapping.

The brcmf_bus_ops structures are never modified, so declare them as const.

Currently runtime pm is enabled for USB, but it is not properly
supported by driver. This patch disables the runtime PM support
completely for USB, as it currently can result in problems on
some systems.

Part of reorganising wireless drivers directory and Kconfig. Note that I had to
edit Makefiles from subdirectories to use the new location.
