Would reserving some bits/separating encapsulation so a mask/shift
could allow for enum/switch? I second Karthikeyan's idea of the
generic module_param--- If you look at the ath10k codebase they have
separate flags for sw/hwcrypto and ethernet and it resulted in needing
to check for the mutually exclusive options

Maybe use & to be consistent with other _MASKs instead of %?

Not part of the patch but would "min" be better here?

+default? (Take care of that todo:?)

See above

Again not part of your patch but, why is this not just unsigned then,
or are negatives used to invalidate? Haven't looked through the code
enough yet

Could this be done at at initialization?

Maybe just skip/goto past this if offloading? Totally a style thing,
but if more encapsulation/offloading is added later it might pave the
way for cleaner code?

Totally trivial/not a real issue, but I had the thought that if it
were written in the reverse order, protected && (action || deauth ||
dissassoc), it could shortcut quicker potentially?

I don't think this cast is needed.

Another spot where the possibility of having an enum for the
encapsulation/flags could be handy?


-       if (ieee80211_is_mgmt(hdr->frame_control)) {
+       skb_cb->flags = 0;
+       if (info->control.flags & IEEE80211_TX_CTRL_HW_80211_ENCAP) {
+               skb_cb->flags = ATH11K_SKB_HW_80211_ENCAP;
+       } else if (ieee80211_is_mgmt(hdr->frame_control)) {

Should this maybe be future proofed, something like skb_cb->flags |=
ATH11K_SKB_HW_80211_ENCAP or perhaps even masking the encapsulation
bits as to not reset all the flags ( =0)

No mesh?
