wpa_supplicant already does this for IBSS RSN. And it does not reset the station
for each received auth frame, the logic is more advanced than that.

(not to mention that it should switch to SAE at some point, but there is this
long standing issue of wpa_supplicant not being able to get the rsn ie of the
peer's probe response)

But for the unencrypted case, i guess simply re-reverting 52874a5e (Revert
"mac80211: in IBSS use the Auth frame to trigger STA reinsertion") and making it
conditional on !privacy should be enough ?

Ok.
