Right, but is there a fundamental difference between

1, 2 and 5 were established"

?

supplicant must validate MLO Link KDEs(includes RSNE and RSNXE) for all the negotiated links but MLO GTK/IGTK/BIGTK only for accepted links while processing 3/4 msg.

So, during roaming if EAPOL 4HS is offload to supplicant it should know the requested and accepted links information.

non-AP MLD needs to select common AKM across all the links. The MLO Link KDEs validation helps to avoid downgrade attacks.
