wifi: nl80211: allow reporting spurious NAN Data frames
Currently we have this ability for AP and GO. But it is now needed also for
NAN_DATA mode - as per Wi-Fi Aware (TM) 4.0 specification 6.2.5:
"If a NAN Device receives a unicast NAN Data frame destined for it, but
with A1 address and A2 address that are not assigned to the NDP, it shall
discard the frame, and should send a Data Path Termination NAF to the
frame transmitter"
To allow this, change NL80211_CMD_UNEXPECTED_FRAME to support also
NAN_DATA, so drivers can report such cases and the user space can act
accordingly.
