This fix is similar to commit 77c91295ea53 ("wil6210: specify max. IE length"). Without the max IE length set, wpa_supplicant cannot operate using the nl80211 interface. This patch is a workaround - the number 512 is taken from the wlcore driver, but note that per Paul Fertser: there's no correct number because the driver will ignore the data passed in extra IEs.
