I applied other patches in the series (i.e., 1-3, 5-8) with some cleanup
and fixes. However, I ended up disabling SPP A-MSDU support in hostapd
by default since I do not want to force known interoperability issues
with deployed STAs having issues with the RSNXE to occur in the default
configuration. Furthermore, there has been very limited interoperability
testing of SPP A-MSDU so far, so I'd also want that to change before
promoting this functionality significantly.

With that change in the spp_amsdu default, this patch 4 is not needed.

I did not see these test cases failing when enabling SPP A-MSDU support.
