SubjectRe: [PATCH v3] ath10k: support NET_DETECT WoWLAN feature
Hi Kalle,

Sorry, I failed to follow up on some of this.

I'm looking at firmware which supports WMI_SERVICE_NLO and
WMI_SERVICE_SPOOF_MAC_SUPPORT. This leads to support for
NL80211_FEATURE_SCAN_RANDOM_MAC_ADDR and
NL80211_WOWLAN_TRIG_NET_DETECT (good!), but it also leads to
NL80211_CMD_START_SCHED_SCAN support and *not*
NL80211_FEATURE_SCHED_SCAN_RANDOM_MAC_ADDR, which is inconsistent
(bad!).

(I think a few times in here you noted the FEATURE_SCAN variant, when
you probably meant FEATURE_SCHED_SCAN.)

If I understand Wen correctly, he is working on dropping
NL80211_CMD_START_SCHED_SCAN, which would fix the inconsistency.

But I also noticed that ath10k does not support
NL80211_FEATURE_ND_RANDOM_MAC_ADDR, which is again an inconsistency:
we're going to lose randomization when in WoWLAN + NET_DETECT mode. I
don't suspect we (Chrome OS) would ever enable this feature in that
state.

Regards,
Brian
