Yes.

wpa_cli is already accepting arbitrary number of arguments to WPS_PBC.

If we expect this functionality to be used over D-Bus, sure.

Sounds reasonable.

Agreed.

I'd ignore that for this, i.e., that wpas_wps_start_pbc() call should
just note that there was no request for Multi-AP.

wpa_supplicant_wps_cred() gets called with information parsed from M8,
so this should be filled based on what the Registrar told us. I don't
see why struct wps_data would be involved in that part (i.e., processing
of a received Credential).

Yes and not only possible, but that will happen in practice every time.

So this is a bit different direction, i.e., configuration of the local
WPS Enrollee behavior for the request information while the comment
about wpa_supplicant_wps_cred() was on how to process the response
information. Anyway, yes, this is a bit complex due to the way the EAP
peer implementation is kept as a separate module between core
wpa_supplicant and WPS module. I did not consider details for that part,
but yes, a new parameter within the phase1 config string seems to make
most sense for getting information about the new optional WPS_PBC
argument to the actual WPS Enrollee implementation which needs to
generate the WSC messages with some additional information.
