[PATCH 00/18] MLD STA: Add support for open MLO connection when driver's SME in use

[Veerendranath Jakkam]

This patch series is to enable support for Multi-Link Operation(MLO)
open connection support for SME in drivers using NL80211_CMD_CONNECT.

Also, this patch series enhancing/adding several control interface
commands to provide information related to MLO connection.

Note: Below two patches dependent on the kernel changes which are still
under review.
