Re: [PATCH] ath10k: add dynamic vlan support

+ * @IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_SW_ENCRYPT: Device is capable of transmitting
+ *     frames encrypted in software, only valid when SW_CRYPTO_CONTROL
+ *     is enabled. Based on this flag, mac80211 can allow/disallow VLAN
+ *     operations in the BSS.
Based on the name and initial description, this sounds equivalent to
just turning off SW_CRYPTO_CONTROL. I think that's not the intent, but
would need some renaming.
I can rename it to something which is very specific to VLAN support on
sw crypto controlled devices if that is okay.
I don't think that makes sense. If we split the capability of AP_VLAN
and AP_VLAN_FOR_4ADDR at the "root", then we don't need to play with all
these things. Yes, this is slightly awkward for userspace, and perhaps
with the interface combination checks, but I'd like you to look at that.


Makes sense, I had this thought to split the VLAN and 4-addr functionality, but since we need to fiddle with userspace, I refrained. Anyways, I will check all the possibilities of splitting these functionalities.

Thanks,
Manikanta
