We've noticed that this is breaking interoperability of 11s nodes in
OpenWrt: association is only possible when neither or both peers have this
patch. I have not tested interop with non-Linux 11s peers.

I propose to revert this for now (I assume it's too late for 4.15, but
hopefully the regression can be fixed in 4.15.1).

Regards,
Matthias
