Does firmware > support NS offload even when host is awake (I think the downstream Android > driver supports that)? Checked with firmware team and they confirmed it is supported. But do we really want to do this? Any benefit from offloading when awake? And won't there be any issues? at least it would make me confused if a arp/NS request/response pair are seen in sniffer but neither of them seen in host ... > So perhaps an alternative approach is to collect the information you need from > the notification and then schedule a workqueue to actually send the > information to firmware?

You can go via the wdev. johannes

I can get it with ieee80211_vif_to_wdev(arvif->vif)->netdev. Thank you for pointing that. > johannes

As is pointed out by johannes in another reply, if you are OK with original proposal I can go getting ieee80211_vif_to_wdev(arvif->vif)->netdev in ath12k_wow_prepare_ns_offloa().

It's all about saving power. The application processor consumes way more power than the firmware processors, so any work that can be performed by firmware extends battery life. A laptop running on battery would presumably benefit from this as well. But let's get basic functionality in place using ieee80211_vif_to_wdev()
