This patch series introduces support for the Enhanced Privacy
Protection Key Exchange (EPPKE) authentication protocol, as defined in
"IEEE P802.11bi/D3.0, 12.16.9". The implementation covers both AP and
non-AP STA modes, with clear separation in the commit descriptions.
The changes have been validated end-to-end using the hwsim tool.
During development and testing of EPPKE feature, we encountered an
issue in mac80211 related to incorrect AAD/Nonce computation for
management frames when MLO address translation is involved.
Depends-on: [PATCH wireless-next] wifi: mac80211: Fix AAD/Nonce
computation for management frames with MLO
Without the patch, EPPKE functionality will fail for MLO connection.

[PATCH wireless-next v3 4/9] wifi: nl80211: Add new NL
attributes to support (Re)Association frame encryption
- Cleanup all references to "epp_flags" since it
is currently not being used.
