This is a bug in FW that upon WMI_PRIO_TX_SECTORS_NUMBER_CMDID, wrong event is returned. Most likely that the WMI_PRIO_TX_SECTORS_NUMBER_CMDID was handled successfully. The bug is not critical - event 0x19a5 is returned instead of 0x19a6 (as can be seen in dmesg).

Another option for disabling TXSS/BRP and hopefully to keep the sector locked is by using WMI_BF_CONTROL_CMDID. Setting "triggers" and "long_term_enable" to 0 should disable BF completely.

Thanks,
 Dedy.
