We do actually use that internally (though mostly for cases where we
don't have a cfg80211 connection like manufacturing support), but vendor
commands are there and people do like to use them :-)

The idea with formalizing this is that they actually get more
visibility, and I hope that this will lead to more forming of real
nl80211 API too.
