Thanks, applied with some fixes (wpa_drv_configure_frame_filters() call
from wpa_supplicant_cleanup() resulted in NULL pointer dereference in
case interface initialization failed).

I've discussed the Hotspot 2.0 specification text and concluded that the
correct behavior here is to ignore the part that might imply that IP
address needs to be obtained before enabling filtering, so the design in
this patch set is fine for that area.
