Subject: [PATCH 1/2] wifi: rtw89: set WIPHY_FLAG_DISABLE_WEXT before MLO

From: Zong-Zhe Yang <[email protected]>

We will support MLO on 802.11be chip, e.g. RTL8922A, in the future. At that
time being, we will set WIPHY_FLAG_SUPPORTS_MLO according to chip info and
FW features at runtime. But, with WIPHY_FLAG_SUPPORTS_MLO flag, cfg80211
will disable WEXT. In case inconsistent user experience, if 802.11be chip,
we disable WEXT uniformly from now on.
