Internal firmware eap_restrict is disabled by default. This patch makes
it possible to enable firmware eap_restrict by specifying
eap_restrict=1 as module parameter.

What is the reason for not having this toss behavior as default? Don't see much reason for having the module parameter.

The eap_restrict feature in most of firmwares are disabled as default, and refer to our experience, using eap_restrict increases roam time for associations in some cases. So what we do in this patch is not changing the default firmware behavior but still give users a way to enable eap_resrtict feature.
