Thanks Jouni. This is good to know. I am running into 802.11v question because of a Netgear dongle behavior. When I configure WPA2 personal on AP, the Netgear client tends to connect and disconnect repeatedly. If I build hostapd using CONFIG_WNM=y, and set time zone to UTC0 in configuration file, then the Netgear client does not disconnect much. Since I do not enable time advertisement, this could be just a co-incidence.
