so you are breaking user-space API on purpose here even when there was a clear comment where to add new attributes:
/* add attributes here, update the policy in nl80211.c */
More importantly, does this actually need a new attribute and you can not utilize what has already been added for mesh? If this attribute is solely for offload cases, then it might be better named accordingly. Also I am curious on how mixed WPA1/WPA2/WPA3 network credentials are now provided to a CMD_CONNECT. So the CMD_CONNECT description might require an update as well.
