wifi: ath11k: QCN9074 numof stations

[Alexander Wilhelm]

Hi kvalo,

I am running the QCN9074 module in AP mode and have understanding problems regarding the number of clients supported by this module. I use the kernel v5.15.92 and the following firmware version: '2.7.0.1/WLAN.HK.2.7.0.1-01744-QCAHKSWPL_SILICONZ-1'. If I boot the module without any special parameter, the firmware should be in the 'hwmode=0', right? I don't know exactly how to determine it. The 'iw' tool shows the following line: 'Maximum associated stations in AP mode: 512'. Then the AP supports up to 128 clients without errors. When trying to connect the 129 client, the AP crashes and kicks out one client after the other. I see the following errors in the log:

Is the firmware running in the wrong mode or are there other limitations?
