The proposed patchset has been tested in a mac80211_hwsim based

hostapd and iwd.

Hi Denis,

Looking pretty good. Do you also have hostapd and iwd patches available 
somewhere. I would like to see if I can get brcmfmac using it.

There are some very raw iwd patches I have.  They're sitting in my 
private tree.  I can send these to you privately or maybe setup a wiki 
page somewhere for you to grab them.  They do not take the 
NL80211_EXT_FEATURE_CONTROL_PORT_OVER_NL80211 feature bit into account, 
so I still need to work on these.  Was holding off until Johannes merges 
at least the high level API bits.

I never modified hostapd.  iwd has a very rudimentary AP mode support. 
Not fully useable but enough to run a 4-way handshake.  So with that in 
mind I concentrated on two scenarios while testing:

1. modified iwd (STA) utiling EAPoL over NL80211 connecting to stock 
hostapd.  In effect this was testing both the legacy and the new behavior.

2. modified iwd (STA) utilizing EAPoL over NL80211 connecting to stock 
hostapd.  Then disconnecting and connecting to modified iwd (AP).

iwd doesn't (yet) have support for P2P, IBSS or Mesh.  So the bits 
touching these features should be considered untested.
