Jeff Johnson says:
==================
ath.git update for v6.17-rc5

Fix a long-standing issue with ath11k dropping group data packets
during GTK rekey, and fix an omission in the ath12k multi-link EMLSR
support introduced in v6.16.

+	 * During GTK rekey, mac80211 issues a clear key (if the old key

+	 * cleared whereas hardware has a valid key. This inconsistency
+	 * between hardware and firmware leads to group addressed packet
+	 * drops after rekey.
+	 * Only setting the same key again can restore a valid key in
+	 * firmware and allow packets to be transmitted.
+	 *
+	 * There is a use case where an AP can transition from Secure mode
+	 * to open mode without a vdev restart by just deleting all
+	 * associated peers and clearing key, Hence allow clear key for
