Nor this. Please rewrite the commit message and comment to be more explanatory (and grammatically correct). johannes

Add a new feature flag that drivers in which FT handshake is offloaded, to advertise support for interoperability with legacy clients which doesn't support using RSNXE IE for MIC calculation in FT handshake. The userspace can choose to enable/disable FT protocols that require RSNXE IE to be used based on this flag advertised by drivers. Signed-off-by: Veerendranath Jakkam <vjakkam@codeaurora.org>
