I admit I didn't check this very carefully. (reads the commit log one more time) Ah, in the last sentence you mention that it's enabled on all hardware. That's quite easy to miss and the commit log is quite misleading, please emphasise already in the title and the first sentence that this is for all hardware. Also more testing would be nice. Enabling something like this with testing only on one hardware family (WCN7850) can be risky. I always get warm fuzzy feelings if a patch is tested with all three hardware families we currently support: * IPQ8074 etc * QCA6390 etc * WCN7850 -- https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-wireless/list/ https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/developers/documentation/submittingpatches
