User space can now allow the kernel to associate to an AP

The driver / firmware will decide whether to use it or not.

A short tour of the drivers taught me that only Quantenna really look
at cfg80211_connect_params::sme which can now be 2. This is why
the maintainer of this driver is CCed.

Indeed in brcmfmac the IE is processed to determine whether it is required or optional. Probably will change our driver to use the explicit mfp values from cfg80211_connect_params::sme.

Thanks,
