I was going to say this looks good ... but still have a few nits, sorry.
But then the next question anyway is how we merge this? The wifi parts
sort of depend on the first patch, although technically I guess I could
merge them since it's all hidden behind the CONFIG_ symbol, assuming you
get that in via some other tree it can combine upstream.
I'd also say you can merge those parts elsewhere but I'm planning to
also land some locking rework that I've been working on, so it will
probably conflict somewhere.

You ignore the return value here.

But not here.
In the code, there are basically two error paths:

This really won't fail, just if the bandwidth calculation was bad, but
that's an internal error that WARNs anyway and we can ignore it.

This I find a bit confusing, why do we even propagate the error? If the
platform has some issue with it, should we really fail the connection?
I think it seems better to me to just make this void, and have it be
only a notification interface?
