wifi: mac80211: accept broadcast probe responses on 6 GHz
[ Upstream commit 62a6183c13319e4d2227473a04abd104c4f56dcf ]
On the 6 GHz band, probe responses are sent as broadcast to
optimise medium usage. However, without OCE configuration
we weren't accepting them, which is wrong, even if wpa_s is
by default enabling OCE. Accept them without the OCE config
as well.
