This does not look like something that would really work at all in
hostap.git, i.e., this is based on something that has other changes and
as such, I'm not sure why this particular change should be in
hostap.git.

Those functions have the same name for a reason, i.e., those are the
functions that are called from the driver interface code for either
hostapd or wpa_supplicant. If there is need to make this work with both
hostapd and wpa_supplicant somehow linked into a single binary, the
driver wrappers would need changes. For that, the cleaner way of
updating the design would be by registering wpa_supplicant_event and
wpa_supplicant_event_global as function pointers to the driver interface
and using those function pointers instead of direct calls. That is
something that I could consider applying to hostap.git.
