Notes:
v2: designate the patch to wireless-next and use a subject prefix naming
the component, as maintainer-netdev.rst asks; v1 went out with a bare
[PATCH] and a "net:" prefix. Rebased onto wireless-next, diff unchanged.
v1: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260907061417.33729-1-hemanth.selam@xxxxxxxxx/
