Hi Jeff, Johannes,

>From your points we understand, we need a length variable and the
td_bitmap value.

As per the spec
https://www.wi-fi.org/download.php?file=/sites/default/files/private/WPA3_Specification_v3.0.pdf(
Table 4. Transition Disable KDE format),
we do have variable length of the bitmap. So we could
1. Add 2 arguments
2. One would be for the length of td_bitmap.
3. The second argument would be an u8 bitmap array depending on length
of bitmap.
Accordingly checks can be added to indicate/ignore the indication of
bitmap to upper layer.
Also the driver can update these fields as length 0 and array NULL in
case no value to be updated by the driver.
