Rafał Miłecki c729fe0269 mac80211: backport brcmfmac changes from 2016-07-08
To work correctly hostapd requires wireless driver to allow interfaces
removal. It was working with brcmfmac only partially. Firmware for
BCM43602 got some special hack (feature?) that allowed removing all
interfaces by disabling mbss mode. It wasn't working with BCM4366
firmware and remaining interfaces were preventing hostapd from starting
again.

Those patches add support for "interface_remove" firmware method which
works with BCM4366 firmware and they make it finally possible to use
BCM4366 & brcmfmac & multiple interfaces.

Subject: [PATCH] brcmfmac: support removing AP interfaces with
"interface_remove"
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
New firmwares (e.g. 10.10.69.36 for BCM4366) support "interface_remove"
for removing interfaces. Try to use this method on cfg80211 request. In
case of older firmwares (e.g. 7.35.177.56 for BCM43602 as I tested) this
will just result in firmware rejecting command and this won't change any
behavior.
