From 9dcc1af3bbf5441f71a1e51b8d81bdf38a249607 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Louis Kotze Date: Tue, 14 Apr 2026 14:27:28 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] wifi: cfg80211: fix grammar in MLO group key error message The error message emitted by nl80211_validate_key_link_id() when a group key install on an MLO wdev is missing the link ID reads "link ID must for MLO group key", which is missing the words "be set". This makes the error harder to grep and parse in userspace logs, and is reported verbatim by wpa_supplicant via its nl80211 extack relay, e.g.: wpa_supplicant: nl80211: kernel reports: link ID must for MLO group key The sibling error strings in the same helper already use grammatical phrasing ("link ID not allowed for pairwise key", "invalid link ID for MLO group key", "link ID not allowed for non-MLO group key"). Fix this one to match. No functional change.
