When using Arm binary toolchain, version 2.11 of wpa-supplicant is
failing to compile with the following error:

| ../src/drivers/driver_macsec_linux.c:81:29: error: field ‘offload’ has incomplete type
|    81 |         enum macsec_offload offload;
|       |

Backport a recent patch that corrects the issue by adding a check for
the version of kernel headers being used in compilation and disabling
that enum if too old a version is being used (or is used by the
binary toolchain).

+Subject: [PATCH] macsec_linux: Hardware offload requires Linux headers >= v5.7
+
+Hardware offload in Linux macsec driver is enabled in compile time if
+libnl version is >= v3.6. This is not sufficient for successful build
+since enum 'macsec_offload' has been added to Linux header if_link.h
+in kernels v5.6 and v5.7, see commits:
+- https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/21114b7feec29e4425a3ac48a037569c016a46c8
+- https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/76564261a7db80c5f5c624e0122a28787f266bdf
+
+New libnl with older Linux headers is a valid combination. This is how
+hostapd build failure has been detected by Buildroot autobuilder, see:
+- http://autobuild.buildroot.net/results/b59d5bc5bd17683a3a1e3577c40c802e81911f84/
+
+Extend compile time condition for the enablement of the macsec hardware
+offload adding Linux headers version check.
