Subject: [PATCH v4] wifi: brcmfmac: cyw: pass PMKID to firmware if present
Date: Tue,  4 Aug 2026 01:08:59 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260804060859.412348-1-bogdan.nicolae@gmail.com> (raw)

Zero out auth_status on initialization. Otherwise, garbage will
leak from the stack to the firmware (when ssid is less than 32 bytes
and/or when params->pmkid is set). Then, pass the params->pmkid to the
firmware (without it, the firmware caches a garbage PMKID on successful
authentication and denies a subsequent association request that includes
the PMKID).

Fixes: 66f909308a7c ("wifi: brcmfmac: cyw: support external SAE authentication in station mode")
