Why would a driver still (be allowed to!) implement both?

Seems there still should be a hysteresis? Or am I misunderstanding the
intent here? I.e. isn't it meant to report low/medium/high later?

I'd prefer you split cfg80211 and mac80211 patches, i.e. provide the
new API first and then implement it in mac80211 separately.

You can save this complexity by just making the cqm_config struct have
all the thresholds inside itself - pretty easy to allocate by just
counting them first.
