Re: [PATCH v4] wifi: brcmfmac: add DPP support

[HungTsung Huang]

Hi Arend,

Thanks for the clarification.

Could you please confirm whether it is OK to submit the standalone P2P fix
to wireless in parallel to wireless-next origin/main? My understanding is
that the P2P fix does not need to wait for the DPP support patch to be
accepted, since it fixes pre-existing bugs and the DPP patch no longer
depends on it.

The reason I added:

> >           p2p->bss_idx[P2PAPI_BSSCFG_DEVICE].vif->saved_ie.probe_req_ie_len) {

was that DPP public action frames can be sent through the primary interface
without a P2P device vif being created. The existing peer channel search path
assumed the P2P device vif was always available before accessing saved
Probe Request IEs, which could dereference a NULL vif in that case. However,
I agree this is a pre-existing P2P bug rather than part of DPP support, so I
moved it into the standalone P2P fix patch.

Regards,
Jason
