Subject: [PATCH 6.6 197/638] wifi: iwlwifi: mvm: don't set the MFP flag for the GTK

From: Emmanuel Grumbach <emmanuel.grumbach@...el.com>

[ Upstream commit e35f316bce9e5733c9826120c1838f4c447b2c4c ]

The firmware doesn't need the MFP flag for the GTK, it can even make the
firmware crash. in case the AP is configured with: group cipher TKIP and
MFPC. We would send the GTK with cipher = TKIP and MFP which is of course
not possible.
