Subject: RE: [PATCH v3 00/22] wifi: nxpwifi: create nxpwifi to support iw61x
Hi Kalle,
There is no more comments for nxpwifi patch v3 till now. I wonder if I can
create the single patch for final review?
Thanks & Regards,
David

> v3:
> - Enable 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6) for both AP and STA mode.
> - Extend driver verion string with hotfix number.
> - Remove Rx mlme work.
> - Remove all useless check of netif_carrier_ok().
