[2/3] cfg80211: Add provision for changing mesh header cache size

Commit Message

Sriram R June 10, 2022, 10:40 a.m. UTC

Add provision to update the header cache size. The default cache size
is 50 header entries corresponding to different external destination.
In case there is a need for a bigger cache depending on the network
topology, the hdr_cache_size config can be updated.
