Yes, that would be the case for client mode with MLME in mac80211. I
would expect AP mode to be working with mac80211 + hostapd since MLME is
in hostapd in that case. I'm first hoping to get mac80211 +
wpa_supplicant with user space MLME working with 802.11r. It should be
possible to make this work with mac80211-based client MLME, too, if
desired.
