This dedicated heap maybe an kconfig option that default not enabled?
And default still uses HEAP_MEM_POOL_ADD_SIZE_HOSTAP.
This change may has side effect on other chips, like you said, current heap is across various subsystems.

HEAP_MEM_POOL_ADD_SIZE_HOSTAP will not be available after this change. Since the memory reserved by heap is same as what is being suggested by HEAP_MEM_POOL_ADD_SIZE_HOSTAP, I think it should not affect other subsystems.

I mean this dedicated heap is an kconfig option that default disabled, and default use the original way for malloc.
If your chip needs this dedicate heap feature, then you can enable it in the user conf.

Create dedicated heap for supplicant operations. Currently, WPA supplicant uses the k_malloc, which is shared across various subsystems, and we cannot enforce a minimum availability. Using a dedicated HEAP that can be pre-allocated solves this by always having necessary memory .
