Currently, an AP may receive unprotected beacons from neighbouring BSSes, which cfg80211_rx_unprot_mlme_mgmt() forwards to userspace via NL80211_CMD_UNPROT_BEACON regardless of interface type. While the kernel rate-limits these events to once per 10 seconds per wdev, in multi-BSS scenarios each AP interface maintains its own rate-limit state, increasing the number of reported events. In AP mode, hostapd has no handler for NL80211_CMD_UNPROT_BEACON and logs an unhandled event message for each occurrence, leading to excessive log noise and making it harder to identify real issues. Since an AP does not need to act on unprotected beacons from neighbouring BSSes, skip reporting this event when operating in AP mode.
