6.5-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Aditya Kumar Singh <quic_adisi@xxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 5112fa502708aaaf80acb78273fc8625f221eb11 ] Many regulatories can have HE/EHT Operation as not permitted. In such cases, AP should not be allowed to start if it is using a channel having the no operation flag set. However, currently there is no such check in place. Fix this issue by validating such IEs sent during start AP against the channel flags.
