Subject: [PATCH] brcmfmac: allow NVRAM values to contain spaces
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Platform NVRAMs often contain values with spaces. Even if right now most
firmware-supported entries are simple values, we shouldn't reject these
with spaces. It was semi-confirmed by Broadcom in the early patch adding
support for platform NVRAMs.
