Hi Michael,

Thanks for the patch. In normal scenario the callstack looks like this:

brcmf_sdio_remove()
-> brcmf_detach()
-> brcmf_bus_stop()
-> brcmf_sdio_bus_stop()

In brcmf_sdio_bus_stop() the watchdog is terminated. So in what scenario
did you encounter this null pointer deref?

Regards,
Arend
