According to Draft P802.11be_D7.0 clause 35.3.4.2, if a multi-link
request requests an MLD with which an AP corresponding to the
nontransmitted BSSID, the corresponding multi-link probe response
shall carry a basic multi-mink element of that MLD in the frame body
of the multi-link probe response, whose location is outside of the
Multiple BSSID element carried in the frame.
Therefore additional handing is needed for parsing multi-link probe
response and generating the merged elements so that the MLD in the frame
body can be correctly copied to the generated elements. Otherwise, the
nontransmitted BSS looks like non-MLD.
