I made a patch [1] to set station mode only for SDIO devices. Meanwhile,
I would like to remove mesh point support from rtw88 because I don't have
impression that it can work and someone uses that. Otherwise, when SDIO
devices can support AP mode, we need another patch to declare "SDIO
doesn't support mesh point", but actually no chip can support that feature.
