If the nl80211 control port is used before this patch, pre-auth frames (0x88c7) are send to userspace uncoditionally. While this enables userspace to only use nl80211 on the station side, it is not always useful for APs. Furthermore, pre-auth frames are ordinary data frames and not related to the control port. Therefore it should for example be possible for pre-auth frames to be bridged onto a wired network on AP side without touching userspace. For backwards compatibility to code already using pre-auth over nl80211, this patch adds a feature flag to disable this behavior, while it remains enabled by default. An additional ext. feature flag is added to detect this from userspace. Thanks to Jouni for pointing out, that pre-auth frames should be handled as ordinary data frames.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
