Hello linux-wireless,

I'm a developer of libdrc, a project that allows Linux computers to
control a Wii U GamePad. Because of how the device operates, our
library needs to be able to read the TSF value of the access point
device from userland.

We currently have a hacky patch that works for our use cases, but it
would be a lot more convenient if that feature could be upstreamed.
What would be the best way to proceed?
That patch ... let's say I think "hacky" is almost lauding it. :)

sysfs is a really bad place for this too, no other wireless APIs use
sysfs.
What do you recommend as the best place to export this kind of information?
