The mac address listed under white list are allowed to connect
while the ones available on black are blocked unconditionally
from connection. If a station's mac is part of neither of the lists,
that needs to be notified which is missing now. It is not very clear
to me about how the notification needs to be done, is it through
NL80211_ATTR_CONN_FAILED_REASON in NL80211_CMD_CONN_FAILED or
there needs to be new command/attr?.

What if an address is part of both the lists ? :)

This does not seem like a valid configuration. I think it
is up to the fw to decide, probably give a notification to the
user when a connection request is received from that station?.
