Thanks!

I guess that'd also apply to probe responses? Or does it not send those
at all? But we discussed before that maybe we don't have to be perfect
there, so I guess we can find some solution to that.

So we have, so far

Realtek:
 - uses offset in beacon template to set partner counter,
 - requires host to set CSA/ECSA elements

Qualcomm:
 - copies and updates CSA/ECSA elements all by itself
 - btw, not sure here about probe responses, does it do that too?

hwsim:
 - personally, I'd prefer it works like Realtek, for less complexity

Intel:
 - not implemented, probably not going to happen any time soon, but I
   think we might prefer the Realtek way too if we ever do this


Mediatek? Broadcom? Anyone else?


I guess then for Qualcomm we'll need to just add an extended feature
flag for "FW_HANDLES_PARTNER_LINK_CSA" and then hostapd can just not
update the parter link templates, or so?

Thanks,
johannes
