From: Rohan Dutta <[email protected]> When the peer STA is created via SMD BSS Transition Preparation on the target AP MLD, indicate that the STA is created as part of SMD procedure unlike STA creation using typical association. This indication helps the drivers and lower layers to prepare the STA for handling ST Execution and datapath switch once the ST procedure is completed.
