This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled mwifiex: Run SET_BSS_MODE when changing from P2P to STATION vif-type to the 5.4-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: mwifiex-run-set_bss_mode-when-changing-from-p2p-to-s.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.4 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 525935a03afd94651daa57d0ec1f121e115a55da Author: Jonas Dreßler <verdre@xxxxxxx> Date: Tue Sep 14 21:59:03 2021 +0200 mwifiex: Run SET_BSS_MODE when changing from P2P to STATION vif-type [ Upstream commit c2e9666cdffd347460a2b17988db4cfaf2a68fb9 ] We currently handle changing from the P2P to the STATION virtual interface type slightly different than changing from P2P to ADHOC: When changing to STATION, we don't send the SET_BSS_MODE command. We do send that command on all other type-changes though, and it probably makes sense to send the command since after all we just changed our BSS_MODE. Looking at prior changes to this part of the code, it seems that this is simply a leftover from old refactorings. Since sending the SET_BSS_MODE command is the only difference between mwifiex_change_vif_to_sta_adhoc() and the current code, we can now use mwifiex_change_vif_to_sta_adhoc() for both switching to ADHOC and STATION interface type. This does not fix any particular bug and just "looked right", so there's a small chance it might be a regression.
