Hi Gautam,

Good to see more upstream contributions, but it might be useful to have
a driver implementation as well in this series. Maybe we can take a shot
with brcmfmac for obvious reasons. Would you happen to have
wpa_supplicant changes as well?

I added some inline comments below.

Regards,
Arend

In the commit message you should not describe what you did, but what
problem you are trying to solve and/or what functional change the patch
provides.

add space after the colon sign.

Some indentation gone haywire here. I would remove '(u8 attribute)'. The
mention of 32-octet seems sufficient to me.
