Hi,
This is not a really good solution, this patch will cause a wrong status to the user:
The supplicant will give status to the user that we are connected although we are not able to encrypt a management packet in addition, the supplicant will try over and over to send the AES_CMAC key.
The right solution is the override the supported cipher that is configured when the wlcore is up:
If the version is below 8.9.0.0.83 the cipher suite configured to wl->hw->wiphy->cipher_suites
cipher_suites[] = {
WLAN_CIPHER_SUITE_WEP40,
WLAN_CIPHER_SUITE_WEP104,
WLAN_CIPHER_SUITE_TKIP,
WLAN_CIPHER_SUITE_CCMP,
WL1271_CIPHER_SUITE_GEM,
};
however, I don't know if it is a good solution to decide the cipher depends on the FW version because we are not able to know what is the FW version when we are loaded the wlcore driver.
What do you think?

Subject: [EXTERNAL] [PATCH v2] net: wireless: wlcore: fix support for IGTK key
Changeset 2b7aadd3b9e1 ("wlcore: Adding suppoprt for IGTK key in wlcore driver")
added support for AEC CMAC cipher suite.
However, this only works with the very newest firmware version
(8.9.0.0.83). Such firmware weren't even pushed to linux-firmware
git tree yet:
https://git.ti.com/cgit/wilink8-wlan/wl18xx_fw/log/
Due to that, it causes a regression betwen Kernel 5.7 and 5.8:
with such patch applied, WiFi stops working, and the Kernel starts
printing this message every second:
wlcore: PHY firmware version: Rev 8.2.0.0.242
wlcore: firmware booted (Rev 8.9.0.0.79)

Fix it by adding some code that will check if the firmware version
is at least version 8.9.0.0.83.
Tested on Hikey 970.

Hi Raz,
Maybe this patch could be useful once firmware 8.9.0.0.83 is released.
v2: change it to require minimal verson 8.9.0.0.83 for IGTK key
