The mac80211_hwsim driver is currently defining the QCA vendor ID
0x001374 for some reason.
Also, all current vendor commands are using the "QCA_" prefix, hence the
reason why I decided to add the new vendor command with the "QCA_"
prefix as well.
Anyway, I understand that you don't want the hwsim driver bloated with
definitions that does not belong there.
Is there any reason why hwsim uses the QCA vendor id?
Perhaps it would be best if the hwsim driver would define its own vendor id?

NAK. That QCA vendor specific value has not been assigned nor have I
even seen a request to assign such a value.
enum qca_nl80211_vendor_subcmds {
QCA_WLAN_VENDOR_ATTR_TEST = 8,
- QCA_WLAN_VENDOR_ATTR_MAX = QCA_WLAN_VENDOR_ATTR_TEST
+ QCA_WLAN_VENDOR_ATTR_ECHO,
And this vendor attribute value has already been assigned for another
purpose.
It is no acceptable to pick arbitrary values of identifiers without
proper request to the owner of the OUI that is used to assign the
values.
As far as the QCA vendor specific identifiers are concerned, their
assignment process is described here:
http://w1.fi/cgit/hostap/plain/src/common/qca-vendor.h
Please do not submit kernel changes that use any unassigned vendor
identifier or even worse, a value that have already been assigned for a
completely different purpose.
