Why are you posting the next version before the discussion on the previous one concluded? :| In any case, I'm opposed to reuse of the networking stack to talk to firmware. It's a local device. The networking subsystem doesn't have to cater to fake networks. Please carry: Nacked-by: Jakub Kicinski if there are future submissions.
