No, no. The format as it arrives at the driver should be fixed/defined.
Exactly as happens to private ioctls now.
Let's, for the sake of argument, say that we misuse the iw_freq structure.
(We can/should define a new structure)
iwpriv parses and sets up an iw_freq structure in the buffer that
it passes for -each- rate.
eg:
freq.i = rate
freq.m = modulation
freq.e = basic/extended

So, the driver gets a bunch of defined structures to act upon.
