Thanks for the information! https://w1.fi/wpa_supplicant/devel/dbus.html shows SignalPoll returns a{sv} properties, while the code wraps the dict as a variant, which causes implicit unwrapping in our code. Similar wrapping is also seen in other places such as wpas_dbus_simple_array_property_getter(), wpas_dbus_getter_bss_wps(), wpas_dbus_getter_network_properties(). If we want to maintain this behavior for compatibility or whatever reason, we might update the documentation to clarify that it is WAI, otherwise I can submit another patch to remove all these variant wrappings.
