I can understand this part..

This sounds strange. I would recommend splitting this part to a separate
patch if you want to get the human readable part in.. I would need to
hear quite a bit more convincing explanation on how you think this
function can be used in re-entrant manner in a single process
implementation with eloop.

This wpa_common.c file should not really use driver interface.

And this does not belong here either.. wpa_common.c is a set of common
helper functions for WPA EAPOL-Key processing. Driver events have
nothing to do with it. If you are using this only in
wpa_supplicant/events.c, it would be better to add the function there.
If there is a plan to have this shared with hostapd, a new C file in
src/drivers could be the best approach.
