From e3373f10c6a6c92aaf415b07171c6710c9d86a3f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rameshkumar Sundaram Date: Fri, 3 Oct 2025 14:51:58 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] wifi: ath11k: avoid bit operation on key flags [ Upstream commit 9c78e747dd4fee6c36fcc926212e20032055cf9d ] Bitwise operations with WMI_KEY_PAIRWISE (defined as 0) are ineffective and misleading. This results in pairwise key validations added in commit 97acb0259cc9 ("wifi: ath11k: fix group data packet drops during rekey") to always evaluate false and clear key commands for pairwise keys are not honored. Since firmware supports overwriting the new key without explicitly clearing the previous one, there is no visible impact currently. However, to restore consistency with the previous behavior and improve clarity, replace bitwise operations with direct assignments and comparisons for key flags.
