I'm not intimately familiar with FT, but it looks like the only thing
wpa_supplicant is asking for is NL80211_CMD_UPDATE_FT_IES. I see
exactly one driver that implements this, but there's no flag for it.
Well, I guess we could just run the command and look for EOPNOTSUPP...

Jouni also claims [1] that there are plenty of out-of-tree non-SME
drivers that support FT. Android drivers may not be directly relevant
to upstream, but this topic does affect our ability to use
wpa_supplicant generically.
