The firmware responding with -EBUSY when trying to add an extra virtual-if

Hi Hans,
First of all, sorry! This one is long overdue (thanks for the reminder, Kalle). Not sure what the claim is here. I have to check the firmware to see what could make this fail. Thing is that wpa_supplicant will try to create the interface upon startup and it is really required for P2P operations. Now people not using that will probably not care about the failure, but I would like to find out why it is failing. wpa_supplicant will not do a retry upon -EBUSY.
With which firmware (target string and version) are you seeing this so I know where to dive in.

Since that firmware is quite old, I've tried again with a newer version:
[ 11.219863] brcmfmac: brcmf_c_preinit_dcmds: Firmware version = wl0: Jul 1 2016 18:02:40 version 7.10.1 (A0 Station/P2P feature) FWID 01-bae8afee

Which still results in the same errors.
Note this is with the a0 revision of the 43430 for which a firmware file is
still missing from linux-firmware. If you happen to be able to add a file
to linux-firmware while looking into this, that would be great.
Any update on this ? Since this does not seem to be going anywhere,
can we at least merge the harmless patch silencing the errors ?
Regards,
Hans
