Subject: [PATCH wireless-next] wifi: brcmsmac: use FAM for debug code
Date: Sun, 22 Feb 2026 19:05:39 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260223030539.19307-1-rosenp@gmail.com> (raw)

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