Subject: [PATCH] brcmfmac: cfg80211: Use WSEC to set SAE password

Using the WSEC command instead of sae_password seems to be the supported
mechanism on newer firmware, and also how the brcmdhd driver does it.

[PATCH 06/10] brcmfmac: cfg80211: Pass the PMK in binary instead of hex

Since that is reviewed and this isn't yet, I expect that will go in
first anyway.

The SAE code in brcmfmac was added by Cypress/Infineon. For my BCA
devices that did not work, but this change should be verified on Cypress
hardware.

Do you mean the existing SAE code does not work on BCA, or this version
doesn't?

I assume/hope this version works for WCC in general, since that is what
the Apple-relevant chips are tagged as. If so it sounds like we need a
firmware type conditional on this, if CYW needs the existing behavior.

I meant the existing SAE code. I will give your patches a spin on the
devices I have.

Right. Let's hope we get some feedback from them.

If I understood correctly this patch is not ready yet so I'll drop it
from my queue. Please resend as v2 once it's ready and add "wifi:" to
the title.

Patch set to Changes Requested.

Any news on this? Nothing from the Cypress guys (nor to any of my
previous emails about other stuff, for that matter), so if you can
confirm this works on your chips I'd rather just blindly add the CYW/not
firmware variant check and call it a day.

We can't wait forever for them to show up. If they expect their chips to
continue work with mainline they need to actually interact on the MLs,
otherwise they should expect us to possibly accidentally break things
even if we try not to. As far as I can tell they seem completely
disinterested in talking about anything, and we can't let that block
progress for everyone else.
