Again, a case for debugfs. I've already moved the WPA testing hooks
there previous to this patch series.

Could have been me, could have been elsewhere, I don't know. However,
it's also undocumented and there's no driver that actually cares. If we
find hardware that requires it I'm all for optimising it, but until then
I don't much see the point. Yes, it'll require some more effort for the
author of that driver, but at least then we'll be sure that it works as
advertised.
