This patch seems to have deferred. We basically want a way to download
a vendor specific configuration to our firmware. Do you have any
suggestions on how can achieve this in better way?

I can see below iw command suits our requirement.

iw dev <devname> vendor send <oui> <subcmd> <filename|-|hex data>

Please guide.

It was deferred because use of the nl80211 vendor interface (which I
don't think belong to upstream drivers). I'll take a look at this patch
in detail after the merge window.

Ok. Thanks for your reply.
We will work to improve the patch if you have any suggestions.

Regards,
Amitkumar
