I'm not really convinced why this change would be useful. The latest
version you sent me directly has number of whitespace issues (does not
use tabs for indentation) and it breaks hostapd_cli build and increases
hostapd binary size. Unless there is some strong justification on why
this change helps with something significant, I'm tempted to just drop
it since the benefits are not obvious to me. In any case, I'm not
planning on applying this before v2.4 gets released and don't really
want to spend time on reviewing the changes without first understanding
the benefits.
