Could you get rid of 'freq' variable and use
ieee80211_frequency_to_channel() on cfg->channel or chan->center_freq.


I tried that, but the line indented below the if would be longer than 80 chars
and breaking it is quite ugly.

Another thing is that cfg->channel can be zero resulting in chan_nr
being zero. I had a quick look whether the device firmware can handle
this. I suspect not, but I will need to ask to be sure.


ok. But when cfg->channel is zero, where is the current freq stored?

It is not. The rf on the device is set to a certain channel so it can be retrieved from the device:

brcmf_fil_cmd_int_get(vif->ifp, BRCMF_C_GET_CHANNEL, &freq);

The vif pointer can be obtained using container_of() on the wdev. That is done in mgmt_tx() already some lines above. May you should move determining the vif pointer and do it unconditional.

Regards,
Arend
