Subject: [PATCH v2 wireless-next] wifi: mac80211: extract channel logic from link logic
Date: Wed, 25 Mar 2026 15:46:09 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260325154550.9a08397a7590.Id24934d14f240f8d38a23f3b1786235bac0b3e60@changeid> (raw)
The logic that tries to reuse an existing chanctx or create a new one if
such doesn't exist will be used for other types of chanctx users.
Extract this logic from _ieee80211_link_use_channel.
