I believe both iw and wpa_supplicant already have the reason code
printout, and if you're diagnosing connectivity issues then you're
probably using those anyway (e.g. iw event -t), so I don't really see
much point in adding this to the kernel?
FWIW I find this useful. When I have connection problems I rarely look
at wpasupplicant, mostly I'm so lazy that I just check from the kernel
log what's happening. Just my 0.02 EUR.
I would also find it useful. I assist with wireless problems on the openSUSE
Forum, and there we are lucky if we get dmesg output. When we do and it contains
a deauthentication reason, I always need to bring up a web page to interpret the
output. With this change, one step could be skipped.
