Description

I'm building a custom project which coexists esp-matter and Arduino in one project.

Such that the WiFi management is went through Arduino library (WiFi), and to inform CHIP's core that the application controls the WiFi. through:

auto &connMgr = chip::DeviceLayer::ConnectivityMgrImpl();
connMgr.SetWiFiStationMode(chip::DeviceLayer::ConnectivityManager::WiFiStationMode::kWiFiStationMode_ApplicationControlled);
connMgr.SetWiFiAPMode(chip::DeviceLayer::ConnectivityManager::WiFiAPMode::kWiFiAPMode_ApplicationControlled);

All up to here is okay, but when engaging with WiFi.enableAP(true) API an error happens, which is a result of incompatibility with esp-matter's code regarding WiFi.

Both stacks initializes the netif`'s (Arduino)(esp-matter[1][2]). While there should be exactly one netif initialized, the program crashes in the second call of.

A suggestion of using the name keys, and the same pattern of code in esp-matter's start(), such that to ask for the netif by name, and if not existed to create it:

      if ((esp_netifs[ESP_IF_WIFI_AP] = esp_netif_get_handle_from_ifkey("WIFI_AP_DEF")) == NULL) {
        esp_netifs[ESP_IF_WIFI_AP] = esp_netif_create_default_wifi_ap();
      }
      if ((esp_netifs[ESP_IF_WIFI_STA] = esp_netif_get_handle_from_ifkey("WIFI_STA_DEF")) == NULL) {
        esp_netifs[ESP_IF_WIFI_STA] = esp_netif_create_default_wifi_sta();
      }

Which worked well in my setup.

Debug Message
