    wifi: mac80211: Drop cooked monitor support

The DKMS package will be broken once that changeset gets applied.

== Fix

https://git.launchpad.net/~canonical-hwe-team/hwe-
next/+git/intermediate-dkms/tree/debian/patches/wifi-mac80211-Drop-
cooked-monitor-support.patch?h=backport-iwlwifi-dkms/plucky/experimental

This is not required for any other series than Plucky (Questing is fixed
by a newer driver and Noble kernel has not been changed).

== Testcase

Compile the DKMS module against a kernel that includes the 6.14.9
upstream stable patches and check wireless functionality. Note that
using this driver is discouraged for normal distro users. It is used by
OEM/enablement customers only.

== Regression potential

Wifi could be broken on OEM platforms that use the backport driver.
