[ Upstream commit b4ebb58cb9a4b1b5cb5278b09d6afdcd71b2a6b4 ]
Currently, when the driver attempts to connect to an AP MLD with multiple APs, the cfg80211_mlme_check_mlo_compat() function requires the Medium Synchronization Delay values from different APs of the same AP MLD to be equal, which may result in connection failures.
This is because when the driver receives a multi-link probe response from an AP MLD with multiple APs, cfg80211 updates the Elements for each AP based on the multi-link probe response. If the Medium Synchronization Delay is set in the multi-link probe response, the Elements for each AP belonging to the same AP MLD will have the Medium Synchronization Delay set simultaneously. If non-multi-link probe responses are received from different APs of the same MLD AP, cfg80211 will still update the Elements based on the non-multi-link probe response. Since the non-multi-link probe response does not set the Medium Synchronization Delay (IEEE 802.11be-2024-35.3.4.4), if the Elements from a non-multi-link probe response overwrite those from a multi-link probe response that has set the Medium Synchronization Delay, the Medium Synchronization Delay values for APs belonging to the same AP MLD will not be equal. This discrepancy causes the cfg80211_mlme_check_mlo_compat() function to fail, leading to connection failures. Commit ccb964b4ab16 ("wifi: cfg80211: validate MLO connections better") did not take this into account.
To address this issue, remove this validity check.
