Hi,

this patch series contains fixes to forbid various security parameters
settings for monitor types. Monitor types doesn't use the llsec security
currently and we don't support it. With this patch series the user will
be notified with a EOPNOTSUPP error that for monitor interfaces security
is not supported yet. However there might be a possibility in future
that the kernel will decrypt frames with llsec information for sniffing
frames and deliver plaintext to userspace, but this isn't supported yet.
