This series enables Multi-Link Operation (MLO) support for 4-address mode
(WDS) interfaces in mac80211, allowing WDS stations to establish MLO
connections with capable access points.

The patch series removes restrictive MLO checks in the bring-up and
connectivity paths, allowing 4-address mode interfaces to initiate MLD
bring-up and connect to MLO-capable Access Points. It also ensures that
valid links are correctly propagated to 4-address AP_VLAN interfaces
based on the master interface and station's link capabilities.
