Subject: [PATCH v6 2/3] wifi: mac80211: allow userspace to enable driver control of MU-EDCA
Date:   Mon, 1 May 2023 09:59:22 -0700

Propagate userspace configuration to enable or disable if driver is
able to dynamically update MU-EDCA parameters.

The updated MU-EDCA parameters from driver are part of an AP mode feature
where firmware determines better MU-EDCA parameters based on channel
conditions. The updated parameters are used and reported to user space
to reflect in AP management frames. These dynamic parameter updates
are offloaded to firmware for better user experience, thus details on
algorithm are not provided. This is a driver specific feature, thus
no spec references.
