This looks like a very bad idea. Why would this be needed? One of the
main goals of wpa_supplicant is to provide a unified layer that allows
upper layer software to not need to care about differences between
drivers.

Whatever this type of driver-specific command is used for needs to be
done by introducing proper driver_ops callback functions for identified
commands instead of an arbitrary mechanism for passing commands that
requires other applications to know what exactly the driver happens to
support.
