Will do that based on our discussion on the details (a new wrapper
function).

These are pretty useful messages for debugging at least now that FILS is
still so new.. Once it gets more mature and has documented
interoperability between independent implementations, we may consider
removing the messages since they would not really show up during normal
operations and would not help much an actual end user. Anyway, I'll
replace them with mlme_dbg() for now.

Ah, looks like I forgot that there and req->fils_kek_len for that
matter. I had initially thought of adding these as dynamically allocated
components at the end of the buffer, but after seeing how req->ie[] was
used, gave up on that extra complexity and simply used fixed size arrays
since both the KEK and FILS nonces do have a known fixed size and we can
easily "waste" that memory in struct ieee80211_mgd_assoc_data for
non-FILS cases without causing any noticeable impact.

Indeed. I'll make the cfg80211 patch enforce that both the KEK and
nonces are set since they are both needed for all FILS cases and remove
fils_nonces_set from mac80211.
