-Subject: [PATCH] macsec_linux: Hardware offload requires Linux headers >= v5.7
-
-Hardware offload in Linux macsec driver is enabled in compile time if
-libnl version is >= v3.6. This is not sufficient for successful build
-since enum 'macsec_offload' has been added to Linux header if_link.h
-in kernels v5.6 and v5.7, see commits:
-- https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/21114b7feec29e4425a3ac48a037569c016a46c8
-- https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/76564261a7db80c5f5c624e0122a28787f266bdf
-
-New libnl with older Linux headers is a valid combination. This is how
-hostapd build failure has been detected by Buildroot autobuilder, see:
-- http://autobuild.buildroot.net/results/b59d5bc5bd17683a3a1e3577c40c802e81911f84/
-
-Extend compile time condition for the enablement of the macsec hardware
-offload adding Linux headers version check.
