As Jouni points out, there's really no need for this, since the RSN pre-authentication frames are normal data frames, not port control frames (locally).
Using control port for pre-auth frame TX/RX allows userspace to skip setting up a raw socket and associated bpf filters. This greatly simplifies the rx/tx path and uses less resources as well.
So to me this patch set seemed like a good idea... We (iwd) don't have plans to support pre-auth in AP mode in the near future, so this revert doesn't really affect us. I do wonder what is the actual concern to warrant a revert?
