[PATCH wireless-next 1/6] wifi: mac80211: Export michael_mic()

From: Eric Biggers

Date: Sun Apr 05 2026 - 01:29:32 EST


Export the michael_mic() function so that it can be reused by the
ath11k, ath12k, and ipw2x00 drivers. Currently they have their own
local implementations of it based on crypto_shash, which is redundant
and inefficient.
