In order to fix this case (PMF: AES-CMAC/IGTK) force the AES_CMAC cipher to
be handled by software.

One of my very early patches when trying to use ath10k was to ask
the firmware for one extra key slot. Maybe I hit the same problem
you did. I'll have to try reverting my patch and try yours instead
some day.

I would suspect so, but it's just my gut feeling. I did not check this
on a firmware level, as the PMF (AES_CMAC) encryption was done this
way from the very beggining in ath10k.
This patch only address the key_idx exceeded case, where
ath10k_set_key() was returning -ENOSPC, so we could inform mac80211
explicitly (by returning '1') it shall do the encryption in software.

Thanks, applied. I just did s/PMG/PMF/.

How did you get firmware to allow the host to do the encryption?
Every time I've tried such a thing I end up with either nothing or garbage on
the air.
Or this this particular type of encryption treated differently by the
firmware?
Thanks,
