Thanks, all review and testing is very much appreciated. But please trim
your replies, including the whole patch makes reading your replies and
using patchwork much harder:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-wireless/patch/20211027170306.555535-4-benl@squareup.com/
I recommend just including the commit log and dropping the rest.
