config HOSTAP_FIRMWARE
        bool "Support downloading firmware images with Host AP driver"
        depends on HOSTAP
        ---help---
        Configure Host AP driver to include support for firmware image
        download. Current version supports only downloading to volatile, i.e.,
        RAM memory. Flash upgrade is not yet supported.
