So how are driver supposed to deal with this longer PMK. Maybe if you could elaborate on what DPP stands for in this context it would become more clear. Can we stick with PMK_MAX_LEN or does it need to be more fine-grained per use-case? If existing drivers only support 48 bytes PMK and trust nl80211 code to check that limit it may screw them up. Not? If this is preparation for subsequent patches I would put it all in one patch series.
