Subject: [PATCH] cfg80211: Enhance the AKM advertizement to support per interface.

Commit ab4dfa20534e ("cfg80211: Allow drivers to advertise supported AKM
suites") introduces the support to advertize the AKM support.

This needs an enhancement to advertize the AKM support per interface type,
specifically for the cfg80211-based drivers that implement SME and use
different mechanisms to support the AKM's for each interface type (e.g.,
the support for SAE, OWE AKM's take different paths for such drivers on
STA/AP mode).

User space would like to know if such driver has the implementation for
an AKM on a respective interface type.

This commit aims the same and replaces the earlier mechanism of advertizing
the AKM per wiphy.

User space shall assume that all AKMs for each interface type are
supported, if the driver does not advertize this capability.

I don't think you should break this for all existing cases.

Certainly this also breaks compiling a large number of drivers... ???

This needs an enhancement to advertize the AKM support per interface type,

Add a new nl80211 attribute to provide supported AKMs per interface type
to userspace.

This commit aims the same and enhances the earlier mechanism of advertizing
the AKMs per wiphy. AKMs advertized in akm_suites are default capabilities
if not advertized for a specific interface type in iftype_akm_suites.

I can imagine certain iftypes could support same suites so maybe good to
use bitmask of iftypes iso single iftype.

Using the top-level attributes inside the nesting makes things
unnecessarily difficult to understand and take far more memory to parse,
IMHO it'd be better to define a new set of inner attributes
NL80211_IFTYPE_AKM_ATTR_IFTYPES, ..._SUITES or so.

Thanks, I will correct this in v4 as per suggestion

Subject: [PATCH v4] cfg80211: Enhance the AKM advertizement to support per interface.

Commit ab4dfa20534e ("cfg80211: Allow drivers to advertise supported AKM
suites") introduces the support to advertize supported AKMs to userspace.

This needs an enhancement to advertize the AKM support per interface type,
specifically for the cfg80211-based drivers that implement SME and use
different mechanisms to support the AKM's for each interface type (e.g.,
the support for SAE, OWE AKM's take different paths for such drivers on
STA/AP mode).

This commit aims the same and enhances the earlier mechanism of advertizing
the AKMs per wiphy. Add new nl80211 attributes and data structure to
provide supported AKMs per interface type to userspace.

the AKMs advertized in akm_suites are default capabilities if not
advertized for a specific interface type in iftype_akm_suites.
