+ * There is a bug with in-firmware BSS management. When adding virtual
+ * interface brcmfmac first tells firmware to create new BSS and then
+ * it creates new struct net_device.
+ *
+ * If creating/registering netdev(ice) fails, BSS remains in some bugged
+ * state. It conflicts with existing BSSes by overtaking their auth
+ * requests.
+ *
+ * It results in one BSS (addresss X) sending beacons and another BSS
+ * (address Y) replying to authentication requests. This makes interface
+ * unusable as AP.
+ *
+ * To workaround this bug we may try to guess if register_netdev(ice)
+ * will fail. The most obvious case is using interface name that already
+ * exists. This is actually quite likely with brcmfmac & some user space
+ * scripts as brcmfmac doesn't allow deleting virtual interfaces.
+ * So this bug can be triggered even by something trivial like:
+ * iw dev wlan0 delete
+ * iw phy phy0 interface add wlan0 type __ap
