wifi: cfg80211: add a flag to disable wireless extensions
commit be23b2d7c3b7c8bf57b1cf0bf890bd65df9d0186 upstream.
Wireless extensions are already disabled if MLO is enabled,
given that we cannot support MLO there with all the hard-
coded assumptions about BSSID etc.
However, the WiFi7 ecosystem is still stabilizing, and some
devices may need MLO disabled while that happens. In that
case, we might end up with a device that supports wext (but
not MLO) in one kernel, and then breaks wext in the future
(by enabling MLO), which is not desirable.
Add a flag to let such drivers/devices disable wext even if
MLO isn't yet enabled.
