-+       * 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
