I think this is one of those cases where just doing LLMs isn't all that
helpful?

I'm not at all familiar with this, but why does this really need all the
complexity of hanging on to the entire MPDU etc. when "[the] driver
needs information"? Couldn't it just hang on to the relevant information
and reduce the complexity here?

Also, the entire point of this is for the loop, so when the LLM says:

I feel like it's probably missing the point entirely - the in-loop
version should be removed?
