Hi Marcel,
Thanks for pointing this out. It was a mistake caused by rebasing the
patch. Will fix it in V2.

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.
This new attribute is used to pass the sae_password value, set in the
configuration file of wpa_supplicant, for offloading SAE authentication.
It seems that the existing attributes can not be utilized for the
purpose. Could you please point it out if you know the proper one? To
reflect the content of the attribute, NL80211_ATTR_SAE_PASSWORD should
be a proper name.
As for the mixed WPA/WPA2/WPA3 network credentials, no key materials
will be provided in a NL80211_CMD_CONNECT for non-offload cases. When
offload is considered, there is no conflict between WPA/WPA2 4-way
handshake offload and SAE authentication offload. For the WPA/WPA2
4-way handshake offload, the PSK is specified using NL80211_ATTR_PMK in
the NL80211_CMD_CONNECT. The corresponding description can be found in
the section "DOC: WPA/WPA2 EAPOL handshake offload". As for the SAE
authentication offload, the sae_password value is provided by
NL80211_ATTR_SAE_PASSWORD in NL80211_CMD_CONNECT. It is described in
the section "DOC: SAE authentication offload" proposed in this patch.
