Great :)

FWIW, regarding the  qtnf_mgmt_frame_register() and
cfg80211_rx_mgmt() thing, I think we'll have to discuss how to do this,
and perhaps you need to think about the firmware API for it.

Right now, I don't see that you can pass filters down, but you probably
also don't want to implement the reject code in the driver? And
cfg80211 doesn't give you that data right now either... So somewhere I
expect we'll need to make changes, unless you just copy (e.g. from
mac80211) the implementation of what happens when cfg80211_rx_mgmt()
returns false.

I'm not really familiar with RGMII, so I can't say how you'd support
this, sorry.
