🌸 Constants 🌸

this is the main character section, so let's do a little meet-and-greet with every single one of them, in order, no skipping, no merging:

• BRCMF_P2P_STATUS_ENABLED — literally no description in the source. the manpage says -- undescribed -- and i'm just the messenger, bestie. it exists. that's the info. 😭
• BRCMF_P2P_STATUS_IF_ADD — peer-to-peer vif add sent to dongle. the add request has left the building and is off to the dongle ✈️
• BRCMF_P2P_STATUS_IF_DEL — the original says NOT-USED? with the question mark and everything. so yeah. not used, probably. that's literally the note. don't shoot the messenger 💀
• BRCMF_P2P_STATUS_IF_DELETING — peer-to-peer vif delete sent to dongle. same energy as the add, but make it goodbye 🌈
• BRCMF_P2P_STATUS_IF_CHANGING — peer-to-peer vif change sent to dongle. change request: dispatched 🦋
• BRCMF_P2P_STATUS_IF_CHANGED — peer-to-peer vif change completed on dongle. oh she's done, she's finished, she ATE 🔥
• BRCMF_P2P_STATUS_ACTION_TX_COMPLETED — action frame tx completed. the transmit wrapped up successfully-ish, we move ✨
• BRCMF_P2P_STATUS_ACTION_TX_NOACK — action frame tx not acked. nobody acked her. rude. but that's the status, ngl 🙈
• BRCMF_P2P_STATUS_GO_NEG_PHASE — P2P GO negotiation ongoing. negotiation is in progress, hold please 👑
• BRCMF_P2P_STATUS_DISCOVER_LISTEN — P2P listen, remaining on channel. she's listening and staying put on the channel, iconic behavior ⭐
• BRCMF_P2P_STATUS_SENDING_ACT_FRAME — In the process of sending action frame. mid-send. currently happening. that's it, that's the status 💫
• BRCMF_P2P_STATUS_WAITING_NEXT_AF_LISTEN — extra listen time for af tx. extra listen time, specifically for af tx 🎧
• BRCMF_P2P_STATUS_WAITING_NEXT_ACT_FRAME — waiting for action frame response. sitting there. waiting. patiently(ish) 🧚
• BRCMF_P2P_STATUS_FINDING_COMMON_CHANNEL — search channel for AF active. out here hunting for the channel for AF, active mode 💖

quick vibe check: the NOT-USED? on BRCMF_P2P_STATUS_IF_DEL is straight from the source, question mark included. i'm not inventing lore. 🫡
