From be23b2d7c3b7c8bf57b1cf0bf890bd65df9d0186 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Berg Date: Thu, 14 Mar 2024 11:09:51 +0100 Subject: wifi: cfg80211: add a flag to disable wireless extensions Wireless extensions are already disabled if MLO is enabled, given that we cannot support MLO there with all the hard- coded assumptions about BSSID etc. However, the WiFi7 ecosystem is still stabilizing, and some devices may need MLO disabled while that happens. In that case, we might end up with a device that supports wext (but not MLO) in one kernel, and then breaks wext in the future (by enabling MLO), which is not desirable. Add a flag to let such drivers/devices disable wext even if MLO isn't yet enabled.
