It had been a while since I had looked at our offload code (basically 
since the initial implementation for the nl80211 work) so I was unsure 
why this would be needed.

So initially we added a PORT_AUTHORIZED *attribute* in the nl80211 api 
and later on the PORT_AUTHORIZED *event* was introduced and 4-way hs 
offload support in wpa_supplicant is ignoring the *attribute* and only 
handling the *event*. I think this information is important enough to 
add to this commit message with a reference to commit 503c1fb98ba3 
("cfg80211/nl80211: add a port authorized event") which "broke" the 
functionality in brcmfmac.

Some specific comments below...

Here things get a bit tricky I think. The old behaviour was to wait for 
both PSK_SUP and SET_SSID events before calling cfg80211_connect_done(). 
If I recall correctly I did that because they can arrive in different 
order depending on the type of offload (1x or psk) but also depends on 
firmware build, so ....

I would leave the code in brcmf_is_linkup() as before and only check 
profile->use_fwsup here to determine whether cfg80211_port_authorized() 
should be called here.
