Why not? Command support checking is what wpa_supplicant is doing.

I noticed NL80211_ATTR_SCHED_SCAN_MAX_REQS, but unfortunately, we have
to support older kernels. It looks like randomization was added in
v3.19, and as you point out, that's only available in v4.12.

I welcome other alternatives if you have them to offer.
