You don't have a choice about wireless extension support - cfg80211 will
support wext for any non-MLO drivers.

However now we're faced with the situation where we have devices today
that enable MLO, and thus don't have wext. But if we disable MLO, then
those devices would get wext, and then when we later enable MLO again,
they'd lose wext again ... all that seems very unreasonable, and more
likely to lead to complaints than "new device doesn't support wext",
hence the first patch and disabling it explicitly for a device that will
again get MLO later.
