描述

every once in a while, nexmon dies with:

And only a reboot can fix the wifi, this is why the mon_max_blind_epochs parameter exists, to reboot the board when this happens.

Ideally we should document this known issue, the configuration and some day maybe fix it.

研究方向
Examine the brcmf cfg80211 nexmon set channel function in the nexmon driver (likely in brcmfmac). The 110 error is a timeout; investigate the channel specification values (chspec) and the timeouts in the firmware communication. The existing mon max blind epochs parameter reboots the board as a workaround. Look for race conditions or missing synchronization in the channel switching logic. Review comments in the issue for any additional clues or proposed fixes.
