Hi Marcel,

sorry there was connman@lists.linux.dev missing in first mail.

any update here?
Unfortunately we can't solve the vendor dependencies, but I want to get
rid of
manual updates of the patch for every connman release.

Asking chip vendor for iwd support is all I could do at the moment. We
are planning to switch to iwd, but this needs alignment with supplier.

Best regards, Sven
