From 92883a524ae918736a7b8acef98698075507b8c1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Luca Coelho Date: Fri, 28 Jan 2022 14:48:50 +0200 Subject: iwlwifi: remove deprecated broadcast filtering feature This feature has been deprecated and should not be used anymore. With newer firmwares, namely *-67.ucode and above, trying to use it causes an assertion failure in the FW, similar to this: [Tue Jan 11 20:05:24 2022] iwlwifi 0000:04:00.0: 0x00001062 | ADVANCED_SYSASSERT In order to prevent this feature from being used, remove it entirely and get rid of the Kconfig option that enables it (IWLWIFI_BCAST_FILTERING).
