Yes, the expectation is that 4way Handshake offload logic should take
care of it .
We plan to submit follow up patches to link the hostapd gtk rekey time
config to the driver so
that configuration at hostapd would configure the driver as well.

Will check whether any interim handling is required.

Vinayak
