generic: 6.1: add patch to compile ieee8211 headers
With kernel 6.1 ieee2111_ptr is not compiled by default. Add pending
patch to restore this to make backports project compatible.

Subject: [PATCH] net: permit ieee80211_ptr even with no CFG82111 support
Introduce a new flag CONFIG_CFG80211_HEADERS to compile in ieee80211_ptr
even if CFG80211 support is not compiled in. This is needed for the
backports project and for any downstream wireless driver that loads in
the kernel dynamically.
