No!  Please not more of a mess.

All definitions used by LinuxKPI based wireless drivers that compiled at some
point are in there.  If we need to fill gaps then that is most likely due to
the fact that we want them in the mgmt code to handle other cases (fields,
flags, ..) for the fullness of spec.  But that is then likely easily done
along with writing such code as needed and the spec next to it.
