wifi: mac80211: add strict mode disabling workarounds
[ Upstream commit 3ad4fce66e4f9d82abfc366707757e29cc14a9d2 ]
Add a strict mode where we disable certain workarounds and have
additional checks such as, for now, that VHT capabilities from
association response match those from beacon/probe response. We
can extend the checks in the future.
Make it an opt-in setting by the driver so it can be set there
in some driver-specific way, for example. Also allow setting
this one hw flag through the hwflags debugfs, by writing a new
strict=0 or strict=1 value.
