Could you please clarify why this would be needed and why
WPA_DRIVER_FLAGS_SME is used here? That flag indicates that the driver
uses wpa_supplicant SME in station mode and as such, is not really
supposed to be used for determining how to behave in AP mode. What
exactly does this fix? Are you sure this does not break SAE in AP mode
with drivers that need to use hostapd to perform SAE authentication?
