wifi: ath12k: Handle 4-address EAPOL frames from WBM error path

Browse source

Whenever hardware receives 4-address EAPOL frames from an unauthorized
station it is routed through WBM/RXDMA error path with the
HAL_REO_ENTR_RING_RXDMA_ECODE_UNAUTH_WDS_ERR error code. But, the
current driver does not handle the 4-address EAPOL frames
in the WBM error path. As a result, these frames are dropped,
causing authentication failures and connectivity issues for 4-address
stations.

Add support to correctly process these frames and forward them to mac80211
for proper handling. This prevents the loss of 4-address EAPOL frames and
ensures reliable connectivity for WDS/4-address clients.

Tested-on: QCN9274 hw2.0 PCI WLAN.WBE.1.6-01243-QCAHKSWPL_SILICONZ-1
