Yes, this is exactly what I would like to see happening when using
mac80211. For now, I think we can work around the issue in
wpa_supplicant, but eventually, this change in mac80211 would allow the
code in wpa_supplicant to be cleaned up and the need for an extra
deauthentication frame could be removed.
