Do you really support arbitrary type changes?

You might even have to handle ongoing scans, etc.

"mac"? Maybe you mean cfg80211?

But I'm not sure this makes sense? You're not actually deleting the
interface here, so why sever all the links/clear all the data?

I'm not sure this is right - beacon_ies is head+tail already, I think?

This case seems slightly odd - what does it mean that the station
existed, but getting the information returned -ENOENT? Is that because
it's racy, somehow? If so, wouldn't it be better to take this as an
indication that the station doesn't exist, and skip this entry entirely
or something?

Don't you mean "malformed TLVs buf"? It's obviously similar, but you
refer to this encoding as TLV, not IE.

Maybe you should ignore it too, since it's a firmware bug?

This seems very strange - why unsigned long, rather than void? I mean

 *(void **)qdev_vif = vif;

If those are const, why not also static? In fact, it seems they really
should be, since they're registered below?

Those unsigned long/void * casts look strange too. Why not use a "void
*vaddr" to start with?

Maybe need a cast here, if that variable is needed at all (identical to
tx_bd_vbase), or make that struct member also void *?

Don't even need that cast then.

Here you can do something like

 vaddr = ((struct qtnf_tx_bd)vaddr) + priv->tx_bd_num;

> +	paddr += priv->tx_bd_num * sizeof(struct qtnf_tx_bd);
> +

no need for the cast here then.

Nor here.

On the whole, it probably doesn't really matter (I'd let Kalle decide I
guess). Just looks odd to me.

I think you need dma_wmb()?


So I mostly looked at the cfg80211 bits, obviously - the other comments
were just in passing.

I also didn't review the flows - some of these things are tricky (e.g.
are there races between userspace asking to disconnect, and disconnect
notification, and similar). Maybe it helps anyway :)
