The purpose of the Lowest Acceptable PN (lpn) parameters in the MACsec
SAK Use parameter set is to enforce delay protection. Per IEEE Std
802.1X-2010, Clause 9, "Each SecY uses MKA to communicate the lowest PN
used for transmission with the SAK within the last two seconds, allowing
receivers to bound transmission delays."
When encoding the SAK Use parameter set the KaY should set llpn and olpn
to the lowest PN transmitted by the latest SAK and oldest SAK (if
active) within the last two seconds. Because MKPDUs are transmitted
every 2 seconds (MKA_HELLO_TIME), the solution implemented here
calculates lpn based on the txsc->next_pn read during the previous MKPDU
transmit.
Upon receiving and decoding a SAK Use parameter set with delay
protection enabled, the KaY will update the SecY's lpn if the delay
protect lpn is greater than the SecY's current lpn (which is a product
of last PN received and replay protection and window size).

wpa_supplicant STATUS-DRIVER control interface command can now be used
to fetch the macsec_linux driver status information like parent
interface name.

The currently unused conf_offset parameter used a mismatching type (enum
vs. unsigned int) compared to the prototype.

In case wpa_supplicant is using driver_macsec_linux, but macsec module
is not (yet) loaded in the kernel, nl_socket_alloc() fails and drv->sk
is NULL. In this case, don't call libnl functions rntl_link_add() or
rtnl_link_change() using such NULL pointer, to prevent program from
getting segmentation faults like:
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

This uses libnl3 to communicate with the macsec module available on
Linux. A recent enough version of libnl is needed for the macsec.h file
(which is not yet available in a formal libnl release at the time of
this commit).
