Re: [PATCH] wcn36xx: enable the beaconing in mesh mode

I do not really remember what was the result of testing when we set
tim_ie_offset to 0. Could you please share what do you observe when
tim_ie_offset? Does FW corrupt beacon?

My concern about 256 is that FW may corrupt some memory. Also assume
the reason why FW sets TIM is because you configure FW as AP instead
of mesh with this line:
    bss->bss_type = WCN36XX_HAL_INFRA_AP_MODE;
