Could you please provide some more details on how drivers would use this
mechanism and why Beacon and Probe Response updates for NoA should go
through wpa_supplicant? Wouldn't it be cleaner and more efficient to
handle this within the driver especially to handle non-periodic NoA
cases depending on offchannel operations?

It looks like this designs seems to assume that there is only a single
NoA timing schedule in the NoA attribute. What if the driver wants to
use two concurrent schedules?
