iwlmei allows to integrate with the CSME firmware. There are flows that are prioprietary for this purpose: * Get the information the AP, the CSME firmware is connected to. This is useful when we need to speed up the connection process in case the CSME firmware has an TCP connection that must be kept alive across the ownership transition. * Forbid roaming, which will happen when the CSME firmware wants to tell the user space not disrupt the connection. * Request ownership, upon driver boot when the CSME firmware owns the device.

This was supposed to be submitted separately [1] so people see it more easily, so *bump* - everyone take a look please. johannes [1] https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/developers/documentation/nl80211#vendor-specific_api Patches introducing such commands shall be submitted separately, not “buried” in big driver patchsets. Give them a “nl80211: vendor-cmd: ” prefix to make them easily identifiable. Though I guess we can debate if this is a "big" patchset :)
