Is that

"It has (contents of ... FILS discovery frame) ..."

or

"It has contents of (... FILS discovery frame) ..."?

I mean, is that with or without headers? The wording doesn't seem
entirely clear to me.

OTOH, if it's with headers, how could it be optional? In fact, either
way, how is it optional?


Template has management frame headers as well. Will change the wording accordingly. I made the template optional because FILS discovery may or may not be offloaded to FW.
Another way would be to make it mandatory here.

+	fd->max_interval = nla_get_u32(tb[NL80211_FILS_DISCOVERY_INT_MAX]);
+
+	tmpl = tb[NL80211_FILS_DISCOVERY_TMPL];
+	if (tmpl) {
+		fd->tmpl = nla_data(tmpl);
+		fd->tmpl_len = nla_len(tmpl);

And if it's with headers, it should have some kind of minimum length
too? You've only put a maximum length into the policy.

(Which reminds me I wanted to have an NLA_POLICY_RANGE(NLA_BINARY, min,
max) but haven't done that yet ...)


Yeah, I looked through existing examples for NLA_BINARY, those provide only the higher bound for length.
But I can modify it to range once that is added.
