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: move ALLFFMAC variable in flowring module
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The only user of ALLFFMAC is the flowring module so no need to
 | 
						|
expose it in a header file.
