Is this an issue affecting also the existing code, or it depends on the
host MLE one?

From the commit message to me it looks like it should be a dedicated and
separated patch, therefore should probably be before the other patch (or
maybe even a separated one, maybe is easier to get it done this way?)

This is related to host mlme for AP mode.

No, this patch is related to host mlme. It won't affect original existed code.
