++	 * 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
