From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@xxxxxxxxx>
These are new devices that will be introduced into the market
in 2023, with new drivers. Wireless extensions haven't been in
real development since 2006. Since wireless has evolved a lot,
and continues to evolve significantly with MLO, there's really
no good way to still support wireless extensions for devices
that do MLO.
Stop supporting wireless extensions for new devices. We don't
consider this a regression since no such devices (apart from
hwsim) exist yet.
