Subject: [PATCH] wifi: brcmfmac: cyw: clean up PMKID and cookie code
Date: Thu,  9 Jul 2026 07:23:15 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260709122315.11400-1-bogdan.nicolae@gmail.com> (raw)

Avoid setting packet_id to cookie, which is always 0. Instead, use an
increasing atomic counter. Avoids mismatches of completion events later
in brcmf_notify_mgmt_tx_status, where packet_id != vif->mgmt_tx_id is
checked.

Also, zero out auth_status on initialization. Otherwise, garbage will
leak from the stack to the firmware (when bssid 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).
