Advertize allowed VIFs combinations to the cfg80211 sublayer.
Other than that, practical tests shown that ath9k_htc devices allow an
IBSS VIF to coexist with VIF set up on other modes, so advertize
that to. We can also further add p2p/mesh mode to be advertized
in the combinations allowed.
I don't think IBSS can co-exist with other op-modes.
oh yeah, you are saying that we will have some issues with IBSS
coexistence with other modes because of TSF sync.
Antonio seems to be testing this sometime back and came up with the
following observation :
"ath9k_htc is running since some hours with AP+IBSS without any
problems.What I think that the maintainer was referring to is a general
problem of IBSS+AP: in most devices, TFS is unique among VIFs, therefore
TSF jumps introduced by IBSS can be reflected in a bad way on the AP VIF".
please let us know if you have further thoughts about this.
I will just look into the code if we have some more limitations.
thanks for your review!
