[ Upstream commit 65277100caa2f2c62b6f3c4648b90d6f0435f3bc ]

In case RSI9116 SDIO WiFi operates in STA mode against Intel 9260 in AP mode,
the association fails. The former is using wpa_supplicant during association,
the later is set up using hostapd:

[...]

Was this patch possibly missed from 5.10.y ?

I'm not sure what happened there, but I can queue it up.

Thank you

Also, while at it, I think it might make sense to pick the following two patches as well, they dramatically reduce interrupt rate of the RSI WiFi device, so it stops overloading lower-end devices:
287431463e786 ("rsi: Move card interrupt handling to RX thread")

And this one too.

Thanks

abd131a19f6b8 ("rsi: Clean up loop in the interrupt handler")

But not this one, it looks like just a cleanup. Why is it needed?

Now I got confused, yes, please skip abd131a19f6b8, thanks for spotting it. (I still have one more patch for the RSI wifi which I need to send out, but that's for later)
