This series adds the cfg80211/nl80211 and brcmfmac pieces needed to
support firmware-assisted FT/OKC roaming offload.

Patch 1 adds an nl80211 extended feature bit so drivers can advertise
roaming PMK programming support without claiming full 802.1X 4-way
handshake offload. The brcmfmac patches then detect firmware FBT/OKC
capabilities, keep roaming-offload connections in a firmware-supplicant
profile state, program PMK material for FT/OKC roaming, report port
authorization after offloaded roaming, and advertise the new capability
when firmware support is present.

Changes in v5:
- Reworked nl80211_set_pmk() to avoid the 80-column checkpatch warning
on the 4-way handshake extended-feature check.
- Added kernel-doc for the brcmfmac OKC profile state added by the PMK
programming patch.
- Normalized Assisted-by trailers to the checkpatch-accepted
AGENT_NAME:MODEL_VERSION format.
- Added Johannes and the wireless/brcm80211 lists to the cover letter
Cc list for the nl80211 and brcmfmac changes.

Hi Jason,

Thanks for the follow-up, but looks like it happened again. Missing patch 5/5 as happened with v3 series.

Regards,
Arend
