Subject: [PATCHv2 wireless-next] wifi: brcmsmac: use FAM for debug code
Date: Mon,  9 Mar 2026 14:59:07 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260309215907.5789-1-rosenp@gmail.com> (raw)

Debug code requires a separate allocation to duplicate a string. A FAM
allows properly sized allocation with a single kfree.

Signed-off-by: Rosen Penev <rosenp@gmail.com>

 v2: rebase and remove debug from member.
