Commit Message

Korenblit, Miriam Rachel Dec. 11, 2023, 7:05 a.m. UTC
From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

Sometimes there may be reasons for which a BSS that's
actually found in scan cannot be used to connect to,
for example a nonprimary link of an NSTR mobile AP MLD
cannot be used for normal direct connections to it.

Not indicating these to userspace as we do now of course
avoids being able to connect to them, but it's better if
they're shown to userspace and it can make an appropriate
decision, without e.g. doing an additional ML probe.

Thus add an indication of what a BSS can be used for,
currently "normal" and "MLD link", including a reason
bitmap for it being not usable.

The latter can be extended later for certain BSSes if there
are other reasons they cannot be used.
