Srinivas Dasari fe4943702c cfg80211: Authentication offload to user space in AP mode ... commit 40cbfa9021 ("cfg80211/nl80211: Optional authentication offload to userspace")' introduced authentication offload to user space by the host drivers in station mode. This commit extends the same for the AP mode too. Extend NL80211_ATTR_EXTERNAL_AUTH_SUPPORT to also claim the support of external authentication from the user space in AP mode. A new flag parameter is introduced in cfg80211_ap_settings to intend the same while "start ap". Host driver to use NL80211_CMD_FRAME interface to transmit and receive the authentication frames to / from the user space. Host driver to indicate the flag NL80211_RXMGMT_FLAG_EXTERNAL_AUTH while sending the authentication frame to the user space. This intends to the user space that the driver wishes it to process the authentication frame for certain protocols, though it had initially advertised the support for SME functionality. User space shall accordingly do the authentication and indicate its final status through the command NL80211_CMD_EXTERNAL_AUTH. Allow the command even if userspace doesn't include the attribute NL80211_ATTR_SSID for AP interface. Host driver shall continue with the association sequence and indicate the STA connection status through cfg80211_new_sta. To facilitate the host drivers in AP mode for matching the pmkid by the stations during the association, NL80211_CMD_EXTERNAL_AUTH is also enhanced to include the pmkid to drivers after the authentication. This pmkid can also be used in the STA mode to include in the association request. Also modify nl80211_external_auth to not mandate SSID in AP mode.
