wpa_supplicant or authsae handles the mesh peering in user space, but the plink state is still managed in kernel space. Currently, there is no implementation by wpa_supplicant or authsae to block the plink state after it is set to ESTAB. By applying this patch, we can use the "iw mesh0 station set <MAC address> plink_action block" to block the peer mesh STA. This is useful for experimenting purposes.
