The struct wpa_driver_ops functions will need to handle different
structure types, i.e., they are driver specific. It would be possible to
change the internal calls to use more specific types and add wrapper
functions for the driver_ops calls, but I'm not sure whether this would
worth the extra code.

Over the eight year time, this nl80211 design change was the first time
a driver wrapper changed the structure type. While this did indeed
introduce couple of bugs, I hope they have now been found and fixed.

Thanks, I applied the patch.
