One comment related to this: usually vendor driver and firmware branches go "hand in hand", meaning that a version of driver supports only one specific firmware branch. And there can be a lot of branches. So even if one branch might have a check for something specific, there are no guarantees what the other N+1 branches do :/ -- https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-wireless/list/ https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/developers/documentation/submittingpatches
