This should fix the WDS / 4addr mode with ath10k and probably other
devices.

+Subject: [PATCH] {nl,mac}80211: allow 4addr AP operation on crypto controlled
+ devices
+
+As per the current design, for sw crypto controlled devices, it is
+the device which has to advertise the support for AP/VLAN iftype
+based on it's capability to tranmsit packets encrypted in software
+(In VLAN functionality, group traffic generated for a specific
+VLAN group is always encrypted in software). Commit db3bdcb9c3ff
+("mac80211: allow AP_VLAN operation on crypto controlled devices")
+has introduced this change.
+
+Since 4addr AP operation also uses AP/VLAN iftype, this conditional
+way of advertising AP/VLAN support has broken 4addr AP mode operation on
+crypto controlled devices which do not support VLAN functionality.
+
+For example:
+In the case of ath10k driver, not all firmwares have support for VLAN
+functionality but all can support 4addr AP operation. Because AP/VLAN
+support is not advertised for these devices, 4addr AP operations are
+also blocked.
+
+Fix this by allowing 4addr opertion on devices which do not advertise
+AP/VLAN iftype but which can support 4addr operation (the desicion is
+taken based on the wiphy flag WIPHY_FLAG_4ADDR_AP).
+
+Fixes: Commit db3bdcb9c3ff ("mac80211: allow AP_VLAN operation on
+crypto controlled devices")
