Hi Johannes,

Customer does not wish to add interface manually using iw or other tools. So we have provided option to load driver with module parameters to meet this requirement.
For all other cases, where default driver_mode is 0x1 behavior remains unchanged.

Thanks,
Avinash

Not really sure why this would make sense or be needed, you can always
create the interfaces from userspace?
