I'm not sure I'd consider wpa_cli help output as something that would be
suitable for automatic parsing. That format is subject to change without
notice and may break such uses.

Even though I'm not promoting automatic parsing of this, the proposed
changes here seem to be reasonable. However, I would need to get a patch
with the Signed-off-by: line in the commit message as described in the
