commit 82bc9ab6a8f577d2174a736c33f3d4ecf7d9ef47 upstream.

When the host-interface bus has hard time handling transmit packets
it informs higher layer about this and it would stop the netdev
queue when needed. However, since commit 9cd18359d31e ("brcmfmac:
Make FWS queueing configurable.") this was broken. With this patch
the behaviour is restored.

Fixes: 9cd18359d31e ("brcmfmac: Make FWS queueing configurable.")
