It will be different patch - we want to add wpa_msg() - we just didn't
agree yet about
what will be the commonly accepted message. And it can be done in
different patch.

Agree 100%, just wanted to minimize the changes. Let me know if this
is the only concern, I'll move
it.

Notification is sent to Wifi manager. If it is done before real
deinit() Wifi manager may start to do
things "in parallel" with wpa_supplicant to the interface. (In our
case it started hostapd() that sometimes got
unexpected interface down).
