reporting the information. On the other hand, the Multiple BSSID-Index

As such, the AP MLD ID that is local to the information should be used

Multi-Link element. However, if an AP MLD ID is not included, then it
must be assumed to be identical to the Multiple-BSSID Index element.
Note that an AP MLD ID will only ever be included if the underlying code
that does the inheritance chooses to include it in the Multi-Link

ensure they match the expected value and leave out the AP MLD ID in the

- Padding is not required; so a pad length field with value 0
is appended to the ciphertext.

the SA Query timeout state across all affiliated STAs of a non-AP MLD.
Extend functionality beyond just introducing the helper by enabling SA

AP MLD: Fix context for ML PMKSA cache in link disabling cases
When the primary_auth link is disabled, its context remains assigned to
the MLD-level PMKSA cache via pmksa_cache_auth_init(). This results in
an invalid pointer being retained, which causes hostapd to crash when
the disabled link is enabled.
Fix this issue by updating the PMKSA cache context to point to the next
valid primary authenticator using pmksa_cache_auth_set_ctx() when the
primary_auth link is disabled.

NAN USD: Update NMI when MAC address changes
The NAN Management Interface (NMI) address in the NAN Discovery Engine
(nan_de) was only set during initialization. This address would become
stale if the interface's MAC address changed later, for example, due to
MAC address randomization.
When `wpa_supplicant_update_mac_addr()` updated `wpa_s->own_addr`, the
corresponding `wpa_s->nan_de->nmi` field was not updated. This could
lead to failures in Wi-Fi Aware USD operations as they would be using
an incorrect source MAC address.
This commit fixes this by:
1. Introducing a new function, `nan_de_update_nmi()`, to allow the NMI
to be updated after initialization.
2. Calling this new function from `wpa_supplicant_update_mac_addr()` to
ensure the NMI is always synchronized with the interface's current
MAC address.
This ensures the NAN Discovery Engine operates with the correct MAC
address, improving the reliability of Wi-Fi Aware USD functionality.

Ignore BSS temporary on PSK mismatch

connection to other available BSSs for the same ESS, allowing it to
eventually reach the correct access point accepting the locally

up opening an unlikely case where a single dialog token value might end
up mapping to more than a one pending query entry if one of those

This could result in processing of a response freeing a pending query
that did not match the current radio work and with that, leaving behind
a radio work that points to freed memory. That could then result in
dereferencing that freed memory.
