From: Luca Coelho <luciano.coelho@intel.com>

This feature has been deprecated and should not be used anymore.  With
newer firmwares, namely *-67.ucode and above, trying to use it causes an
assertion failure in the FW, similar to this:

[Tue Jan 11 20:05:24 2022] iwlwifi 0000:04:00.0: 0x00001062 | ADVANCED_SYSASSERT

In order to prevent this feature from being used, remove it entirely
and get rid of the Kconfig option that
enables it (IWLWIFI_BCAST_FILTERING).

If it's the same issue, it should be marked as a duplicate.

I can add that.

BTW, please trim your quotes. You left a really long (and unnecessary)
quote, which makes use of patchwork much harder for us maintainers.
Unfortunately patchwork is not able to trim them automatically:

I share your pain, I'm also overwhelmed by mail and patches :) To be
exact, I didn't mean that you Thorsten should mark the bug duplicate and
I was hoping that someone from Intel would do it. And Golan thankfully
did that:

https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=215550#c1

And I also agree about challenges with Bugzilla. I personally have time
to only follow ath11k bugzilla reports, everything else I'm forced to
ignore. This is a big disconnect between users and developers which
worries me as well.

Yeah, understandable that quoting more is helpful for regression
reports. I wish patchwork would have a feature to automatically trim
unnecessary quotes, that would be really helpful for us maintainers.

BTW, I also have a feature request for regzbot :) I try to follow
regression emails very carefully, but I find the emails quite hard to
read as it's not easy to see what part of text is written by a bot and
which is from a human. I get so much email that I try to skim the emails
quickly and ignore all the boilerplate text, but with regzbot emails
that's difficult. One way to solve this might be to add all boilerplate
code between "-----[cut]------" lines or something like that.

Ahh, good.

Maybe I can come up with some numbers over the course of the next few
weeks to improve the situation. Or find somebody that would hire me to
work on improving things in that area...

Right now the bot doesn't write any emails except the weekly reports.
The text is thus coming from me, but I obviously have some templates.

Hmmm. I was trying to make this easy already. When I'm adding a report
to the tracking I for example these days put this at the top of my mail:

```
[TLDR: I'm adding this regression to regzbot, the Linux kernel
regression tracking bot; most text you find below is compiled from a few
templates paragraphs some of you might have seen already.]
```

And I sometimes even use top-posting.

Anyway, thx for brining this up, I guess there are still some areas
where I can improve things (which likely means to use top-posting even
more often, which kinda feels wrong, but for some of my mails might be
the better approach).

Ciao, Thorsten
