Basically, I figured that cfg80211 is the kernel-internal interface and
nl80211 is just the primary userspace interface with WE compatibility
being a second one and possibly partial configurability in configfs
later. All drivers need to care about is cfg80211, hence I made the
split explicit.

Can you describe a bit more what the scope of each of nl80211 and
cfg80211 is?  Not sure I entirely understand the split and where the
line is drawn.

Thanks,
