[PATCH 2/2] wifi: nl80211: constrain MBSSID TX link ID range

From: Zhao Li

Date: Fri Jun 12 2026 - 09:24:00 EST


MBSSID transmitted-profile link IDs are valid only in the range
0..IEEE80211_MLD_MAX_NUM_LINKS - 1. Constrain the nl80211 policy to
reject out-of-range values during attribute validation.
