It is a new key type regardless of whether it is PSK or passphrase. The
current key types (IW_AUTH_CIPHER_*) are WEP40, TKIP, CCMP, and WEP104..

Ah, it's a different key because it's not set _during_ the 4-way
handshake, but just sent to the fw directly and the fw handles it,
right?

There are two cases here, but in both of them, them PMK (i.e., PSK for
WPA-Personal) needs to be set just before the 4-way handshake would
start. When using WPA-Personal, the PSK would be set just before (or as
part of) association request. When using WPA-Enterprise (WPA-EAP), the
PMK would be set after having completed IEEE 802.1X/EAP authentication
(and the driver/firmware would then take care of 4-way handshake). Both
cases will end up disabling the user space supplicant from taking part
in 4-way handshake, i.e., it will ignore EAPOL-Key frames should they be
delivered through the netdev and expects the driver/firmware to process
them.
