I only tested on a QCA6174 (and I'll add Tested-on for that). This makes
sense and maybe enabling unconditionally for all ath10k hardware is the
wrong way to go about it.
Since I don't have the ability to test every hardware combination
hopefully someone from atheros can chime in. Is there some
firmware/driver value that can be queried which tells me if broadcast RX
is supported? Or if not is checking ar->hw_rev == ATH10K_HW_QCA6174 good
enough? Or are there sub-variants that may or may not support this?
Thanks
James
