The Low Power DRPw (LPD) mode contains several optimizations that designed to reduce the solution's consumption. The purpose is to save current consumption in RX and Listen mode. LPD setting apply only for wl127x AP mode (not wl128x) Signed-off-by: Shahar Levi <redacted> ---[...] I still think this is not the right way to do it. It doesn't make sense to have it in the configuration parameters. If you want to make it configurable, it should be in the NVS file and the driver should clear it when not in AP mode (and whoever generates the NVS needs to make sure it's never set for wl128x).
please don't use the "blacklist" approach. it always gets broken at some point.
The other solution is to always set this flag when in wl127x in AP-mode, in which case it doesn't need to be configurable at all. That would be the simplest solution and you could even use a quirk if it makes it easier.
sounds much better. Eliad.
