This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled wifi: ath12k: fix and enable AP mode for WCN7850 to the 6.6-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: wifi-ath12k-fix-and-enable-ap-mode-for-wcn7850.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.6 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 67057e6b4fbd402c60ce2920024ed83a961581eb Author: Kang Yang <quic_kangyang@xxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri Dec 1 18:09:48 2023 +0200 wifi: ath12k: fix and enable AP mode for WCN7850 [ Upstream commit ed7e818a7b501012038d6bc6fedadaf7375a380a ] For AP mode, the peer is created earlier in ath12k_mac_op_add_interface() but ath12k_mac_op_assign_vif_chanctx() will try to create peer again. Then an error will return which makes AP mode startup fail. Kernel log: [ 5017.665006] ath12k_pci 0000:04:00.0: failed to create peer after vdev start delay: -22 wpa_supplicant log: Failed to set beacon parameters Interface initialization failed wls1: interface state UNINITIALIZED->DISABLED wls1: AP-DISABLED wls1: Unable to setup interface. Failed to initialize AP interface wls1: interface state DISABLED->DISABLED wls1: AP-DISABLED So fix this check and enable AP mode for WCN7850, as now AP mode works normally.
