A sanity check was introduced considering maximum flowrings above
256 as insane and effectively aborting the device probe. This
resulted in regression for number of users as the value turns out
to be sane after all.

Fixes: 2aca4f3734bd ("brcmfmac: return error when getting invalid max_flowrings from dongle")

Forgot tha mention this is for 6.2 kernel. Apparently the commit causing 
the regression was also applied to 6.1 stable tree. So this should go to 
stable as well.

Ok, I'll add cc stable.
