Currently for AP_VLAN interfaces that are a part of a MLD master AP,
links are not created for the interface. Additionally, mac80211
handles duplicating multicast traffic on each link when a driver/hw
is not handling such action.

With the introduction of MLO, there are two areas where additional
handling is needed to enable Dynamic VLAN traffic: creating separate
links for AP_VLAN interface and enabling mac80211 to send multicast
Dynamic VLAN traffic on each link.

4addr mode + MLO is not currently supported.
