It's totally wrong to change interface definition or meaning by Kconfig.
Interfaces mean some contract between kernel and userspace, how do
applications follow the changing contract?

Hello
For me the wrong is not to change, but to break the old working thing.
The old IOCTLs can be maintained. Either by design, or as a config
option like CONFIG_WLIOC_ENABLE_LEGACY with default yes.
That would work for me, I think, as it would allow running old code
without changing it (or
Hi all,
Thank you for thinking along!
I've noted all these down.
*KConfig warning*Good idea but I agree that adding Kconfig that does little
to nothing might not be the best idea. It feels awkward to me knowing the
kconfig is indeed already quite complicated.
Next to that, the experimental marki

There will be another IOCTL added to the list. I didn't include it in the
commit.
WLIOC_SETMOD [enum] this specifies which modulation technology you want to
use.
This is important as many RF radios can switch between them.
This unlocks the modulations WLIOC_(modulation)_(function
Hello,
I suggest people have a look at the RF interface that was rejected when
I suggested it.
Just to see if that could contribute something to the proposal.
There was ONE upper half driver with an unified ioctl interface for all
radio devices.

I have doubts whether adding more kconfig options that basically do nothing
makes any sense.
NuttX configuration is already very complicated and making it even more
complicated seems
like a bad idea. We should describe the change well in the ReleaseNotes and
that should be
enough. It should be the
Hi all,
I like the fact that there has been a high level analysis here and an
effort to make things consistent across multiple types of communications.
Since the drivers mentioned are experimental, I agree that breaking changes
aren't breaking stabilized interfaces.
We should just be careful to
