I think similar enhancement needed for cfg80211_roamed/NL80211_CMD_ROAM
also to know accepted and rejected links info during roaming.

Not sure, in that case we might care only about the successful links
since wpa_s didn't request the others, so maybe it doesn't matter?

Drivers can offload EAPOL 4WHS to wpa_supplicant during roaming with non-FT AKMs. In that case supplicant needs to know rejected links info to validate AP's MLO Link KDEs in 3/4 frame.

Ex: Driver handles only re-association request and response frames while doing roaming with non-FT AKM then offload 4WHS to wpa_supplicant


In any case, I have no driver I deal with that would ever use this API,
so I can't really do anything about it.

No problem, I will post the required changes for cfg80211_roamed/NL80211_CMD_ROAM path, hope that is fine.
