Well, it should really be that full list above. Not that we really fully
support IEEE 802.1X with RSN IBSS at the moment, but anyway, we could
potentially do that and the driver wrapper does not need to know this
anyway, so better include all possibilities that would use the new
authorization mechanism.

Yes. Though, the only once that are likely to work at this point are
WPA_KEY_MGMT_PSK and KEY_MGMT_PSK_SHA256. I don't think the version you
used previously ever set this flag, so it would be interesting to hear
how this was tested. Since the kernel change was not yet in
wireless-testing.git, I just verified that the authorization operations
are failing and left the patch waiting until the kernel side is ready.
