cfg80211: Add support for randomizing TA of Public Action frames
Add support to use a random local address (Address 2 = TA in transmit
and the same address in receive functionality) for Public Action frames
in order to improve privacy of WLAN clients. Applications fill the
random transmit address in the frame buffer in the NL80211_CMD_FRAME
command. This can be used only with the drivers that indicate support
for random local address by setting the new
NL80211_EXT_FEATURE_MGMT_TX_RANDOM_TA and/or
NL80211_EXT_FEATURE_MGMT_TX_RANDOM_TA_CONNECTED in ext_features.
The driver needs to configure receive behavior to accept frames to the
specified random address during the time the frame exchange is pending
and such frames need to be acknowledged similarly to frames sent to the
local permanent address when this random address functionality is not
used.
