Hi Janaki,

Please avoid top and remember to trim unnecessary context when replying

But a developer on such an old platform that can patch and replace the
NVM configuration file should also be able to just disable the check in

What about WCN6750 and 64:90:00:00:5a:ad?

And then there's currently also:

Which controllers use these configurations?
