[PATCH 10/10] staging: wfx: allow to run nl80211 vendor commands with 'iw'

From: Jérôme Pouiller <jerome.pouiller at silabs.com>

In current code, the nl80211 vendor extensions provided by the driver
use the new API[1]. It requires to pack the netlink attributes into a
NLA_NESTED.

Unfortunately, it is not the way the command 'iw vendor' works.

This patch, add extra vendor commands that can be called with
'iw vendor'.

[1] see commit 901bb989185516 ("nl80211: require and validate vendor
    command policy")
