+ * @status: Status code, %WLAN_STATUS_SUCCESS for successful connection, use
+ *	%WLAN_STATUS_UNSPECIFIED_FAILURE if your device cannot give you
+ *	the real status code for failures. If this call is used to report a
+ *	failure due to a timeout (e.g., not receiving an Authentication frame
+ *	from the AP) instead of an explicit rejection by the AP, -1 is used to
+ *	indicate that this is a failure, but without a status code.
+ *	@timeout_reason is used to report the reason for the timeout in that
+ *	case.
+ * @bssid: The BSSID of the AP (may be %NULL)
+ * @bss: Entry of bss to which STA got connected to, can be obtained through
+ *	cfg80211_get_bss() (may be %NULL). Only one parameter among @bssid and
+ *	@bss needs to be specified.
+ * @req_ie: Association request IEs (may be %NULL)
+ * @req_ie_len: Association request IEs length
+ * @resp_ie: Association response IEs (may be %NULL)
+ * @resp_ie_len: Association response IEs length
+ * @timeout_reason: Reason for connection timeout. This is used when the
+ *	connection fails due to a timeout instead of an explicit rejection from
+ *	the AP. %NL80211_TIMEOUT_UNSPECIFIED is used when the timeout reason is
+ *	not known. This value is used only if @status < 0 to indicate that the
+ *	failure is due to a timeout and not due to explicit rejection by the AP.
+ *	This value is ignored in other cases (@status >= 0).
