Clean way to retrieve information from EAP methods

Hello,
We are currently working on the implementation of a new EAP method. This
method generates keys that need to be used outside the hostapd daemon.
Therefore, I'm looking for an elegant way to retrieve those keys.
Currently, I've added a new command to the hostapd_cli tool which call
recursively each layer for status information (as the control message
STATUS in wpa_supplicant but here per sta). To retrieve information from
the EAP state machine, i've planned to add a new element (e.g., struct
wpabuf * (*status)(int verbose);) to the eap_method structure. This
element needs to be defined by an EAP method that wants to share
information (here: the keys).
Do you think this is a clean solution (does it break the standard?)?
Best regards,
Gregory.
