That is very unfortunate. I hoped this change could merged as a fix for
7.3.

The change is required. wpa_supplicant 2.12 (and unpatched 2.11) will
run into its authentication timeout and disconnect WPA2/3 PSK networks
on brcmfmac devices with firmware offload support.

I'll rebase onto wireless-next and send a v2 but I think it's serious
issue in the process that it will take until after v7.4-rc1 (7+ weeks
from now) before this fix will land in stable kernel releases.
