• • • phy_info_handler: This function is passed as callback handler to nl80211_send_and_recv in update_channel_flags which does not use radio_info structure. In the phy_info_handler, based on the band obtained the channel flags has to be updated to the right radio_info structure.
    • wifi_hal_purgeScanResult: get_radio_by_phy_index was used to obtain the interface for purging the scan result. Simplify this by using get_interface_by_vap_index and remove the usage of get_radio_by_phy_index.
    • platform_get_radio_phytemperature: In broadcom platform.c file, get_radio_by_phy_index is called in this function. Instead of this function, obtain the appropriate radio_info pointer by calling get_radio_by_rdk_index.

• • Needs to check further whether there is any direct usage of phy_index instead of rdk_radio_index. Study in progress.
