We observed some Cisco APs sending the following HE Operation IE in
associate response:
ff 0a 24 f4 3f 00 01 fc ff 00 00 00
Its HE operation parameter is 0x003ff4, so the expected total length is
7 which does not match the actual length = 10. This causes association
failing with "HE AP is missing HE Capability/operation."
According to P802.11ax_D4 Table9-94, HE operation is extensible, and
according to 802.11-2016 10.27.8, STA should discard the part beyond
the maximum length and parse the truncated element.
Allow HE operation element to be longer than expected to handle this
case and future extensions.

README
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 Restructured Text 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.
