I do not understand why entering apsta mode by default. The mode is
supposed to be enabled only when an AP interface is created in
brcmf_cfg80211_start_ap. I think one of the side effects of apsta mode
is that memory footprint significantly increases. It should remain
disabled for STA only mode (which is the major use case) for better
performance.

Thanks for the clarification. The series should be ignored by Kalle

By better performance, do you just mean "lower chance of memory
exhaustion"? If so, surely the firmware would be designed such that it
doesn't run out of memory under the advertised use-cases (STA, AP+STA
etc.), regardless of the current apsta setting?
I would hope that somebody from Infineon could chime in here, as I am
not privy to the FW design.

I think some packet related buffers will be adjusted for apsta mode so
the sta mode performance will hurt because there is less buffer to
use.
Another significant impact I am sure about is some power saving
features will be turned off once apsta mode is enabled. So the chip
will drain more power even the AP interface is not created.

OK. And this apsta mode seems only to be used for STA + P2P mode in the
upstream driver's current form. But doesn't the driver also support AP +
STA mode ordinarily? Would apsta=1 not be necessary for that use-case?
Of course I assume you can only answer me for Broadcom chipsets.
Trying to understand whether to drop this whole series or whether a
modified version can be suitably upstreamed.
