Currently, there is no support for drivers to indicate external
authentication request is for MLO or non-MLO connection. This
information needed for userspace to consider MLO specific changes
during authentication like adding Multi-Link IE with MLD address in
authentication frames. Also, the transmit address of the authentication
frames can be different from the interface address for MLO connection.
Add transmit address parameter in external authentication request to
indicate userspace to enable MLO and use the transmit address as TA in
the authentication frames. If transmit address not indicated by driver
userspace must do legacy authentication.
Also, If the driver is using transmit address different from interface
address it should advertise
NL80211_EXT_FEATURE_AUTH_AND_DEAUTH_RANDOM_TA flag. This is needed since
the external authentication request may get triggered before association
and cfg80211 won't have link address information by that time.
