This series addresses issues related to MLO handling in probe response
acceptance and scan request validation.
* Validate SCAN_FLAG_AP in scan request during MLO:
Enforce the requirement for the NL80211_SCAN_FLAG_AP flag in scan
requests when an AP interface is beaconing.
Apply this restriction to ML interfaces by using the existing
helper ieee80211_num_beaconing_links() to check if any link is
beaconing.
* Accept probe response on link address as well:
Ensure unicast probe response frames are accepted if the
destination address matches any of the link addresses when a
random MAC address is not requested.
This change corrects the behavior where probe response frames are
dropped incorrectly for MLO interfaces.
Both the changes are as such independent from each other. Since both are
related to MLO scanning, currently kept in same series.
