This does not correct to me, i.e., I would expect GCM-AES-256 to use
256-bit keys throughout the key hierarchy. In other words, also CAK
would be 256 bits in that case.. Anyway, I did apply this and then added
number of other changes to extend the key derivation functions to
support both key lengths. The PSK case can now configure a 256-bit CAK.
For EAP, an additional configuration parameter might be needed unless
the CAK length is indicated somewhere (did not find it yet based on a
quick search through the standard).
