I don't think it's _that_ urgent, since it's specific to one
particular driver anyway. I'd suggest just going through the normal
channels, and be cc'd to netdev.

The fixes tag would be

    Fixes: 18e2f61db3b70 ("brcmfmac: P2P action frame tx.")

which is 3.9 in case anybody cares. I assume that didn't get
backported any further.
