+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.
