Yes，the OEM project we are working on is based on a qualcomm chip
qcs410, in this BSP, we integrate an out-of-tree WiFi driver for WCN3980
(https://git.codelinaro.org/clo/la/platform/vendor/qcom-
opensource/wlan/qcacld-3.0), this driver is also used in the qualcomm
Android kernel, this driver has more features than linux in-tree
drivers. And in qcacld-3.0 driver, there are many wiphy features are set
netlink attribute NESTED flag (please see the log below), so with the
kernel 5.2 and later version, the validate_nla() will check if the
netlink message set the NLA_F_NESTED or not, if not set, the validation
will fail for qcacld-3.0 driver.
And this change is safe for in-tree drivers, since these drivers don't
have netlink attribute NESTED flag, the validate_nla() will not be
impacted even we set NLA_F_NESTED to the netlink messages.

Title:
libnl3 3.4.0 doesn't work with WCN3980
Status in OEM Priority Project:
New
Status in libnl3 package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
When testing WCN3980 with 20.04 and UC20, WCN3980 is not able connect
to an AP.
I tried a different libnl3 from BSP and found that WCN3980 can work
correctly. The version used in BSP is 3.5.0.
I bisected the commits from 3.4.0 to 3.5.0 and found this commit[1] is the
root cause.
According to the commit, it seems that the flag should be set for kernel
later than 5.2.
