+Subject: [PATCH] brcmfmac: specify some features per firmware version
+MIME-Version: 1.0
+Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
+Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
+
+Some features supported by firmware aren't advertised and there is no
+way for a driver to query them. This includes e.g. monitor mode details.
+
+Most firmwares support monitor interface but only the latest ones
+/announce/ it with a "monitor" flag in the "cap" iovar. There isn't any
+reliable detection method for older firmwares (BRCMF_C_MONITOR was tried
+but "it only indicates the core part of the stack supports").
+
+Similarly support for tagging monitor frames and building radiotap
+headers can't be reliably detected for all firmwares.
+
+This commit adds table that allows mapping features to firmware version.
+It adds mappings for 43602a1 and 4366b1 firmwares from
+linux-firmware.git. Both were confirmed to be passing monitor frames.
