Thanks!

One thing about passing null to wpa_msg:  Doesn't that
allow us to get messages over the cli interface tool, where
wpa_printf does not?

It seemed to me that converting all wpa_printfs to wpa_msg
(or wpa_dbg) was going to be more flexible going forward.
We could do a check for NULL and instead of printing
"NULL:" is my patches did, it could just leave out the "NULL:",
or maybe make more informed decisions about passing to
the cli, log files, etc.

But, either way is fine with me.

Thanks,
Ben
