I still do not understand why this would be needed. EAP-TLS as an inner
method for PEAP has been supported for years with following:

    eap=PEAP
    phase2="auth=TLS"
    ca_cert="ca-for-outer-peap.pem"
    identity="User"
    ca_cert2="ca-for-inner-eap-tls.pem"
    client_cert2="user-cert-for-inner-eap-tls.pem"
    private_key2="user-private-key-for-inner-eap-tls.pem"

Sure, this is different compared to the EAP-TTLS special case, but the
special case is on the EAP-TTLS side (both EAP and non-EAP inner
methods) and not on PEAP (only EAP inner methods).
