This is done in a loop iterating over the different AKM suites, with your
patch this looks like this:

for (i = 0; i < params->crypto.n_akm_suites; i++) {
switch (params->crypto.akm_suites[i]) {
case WLAN_AKM_SUITE_8021X:
if (params->crypto.wpa_versions &
NL80211_WPA_VERSION_1) {
bss_config->protocol = PROTOCOL_WPA;
bss_config->key_mgmt = KEY_MGMT_EAP;
}
if (params->crypto.wpa_versions &
NL80211_WPA_VERSION_2) {
bss_config->protocol |= PROTOCOL_WPA2;
bss_config->key_mgmt = KEY_MGMT_EAP;
}
break;
case WLAN_AKM_SUITE_PSK:
if (params->crypto.wpa_versions &
NL80211_WPA_VERSION_1) {
bss_config->protocol = PROTOCOL_WPA;
bss_config->key_mgmt = KEY_MGMT_PSK;
}
if (params->crypto.wpa_versions &
NL80211_WPA_VERSION_2) {
bss_config->protocol |= PROTOCOL_WPA2;
bss_config->key_mgmt = KEY_MGMT_PSK;
}
break;
case WLAN_AKM_SUITE_SAE:
bss_config->protocol = PROTOCOL_WPA2;
bss_config->key_mgmt = KEY_MGMT_SAE;
break;

default:
break;
}
}

It looks wrong to overwrite bss_config->protocol and
bss_config->key_mgmt in each iteration of this loop. If that would be
correct, you wouldn't need a loop at all, but could instead configure
based on the last AKM suite entry.

In my understanding the bits in bss_config->key_mgmt should be ored
together depending on the possible AKM suites which is also what the
downstream driver does.
