If the AP mode ends up being determined less than the client mode,
there may be different reasons for this, e.g. AP misconfiguration.
If this happens in a way that causes e.g. EHT to be rejected, the
elements need to be re-parsed since we'll connect as HE, but not
reparsing means that we'll still think it's OK to use multi-link,
so we can connect in a non-sensical configuration of advertising
only HE on a secondary link. This normally won't happen for the
assoc link because that reuses the mode from authentication, and
if that's not EHT, multi-link association is rejected.
Fix this inconsistency by parsing the elements again if the mode
was different from the first parsing attempt. Print the message a
bit later to avoid printing "determined AP ... to be HE" twice in
cases where ieee80211_determine_ap_chan() returned a lesser mode,
rather than the regulatory downgrades below changing it.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
